Red blood cells
- erythrocytes
Function: transport oxygen
White blood cells
- leukocytes 
- lymphocytes
Function: fight infection 
Platelets
- thrombocytes
Function: help in blood clotting
Plasma
Function: protein rich liquid that carries the blood cells along
17
Q

Main parts of circulatory system

A
  • blood
  • heart
  • blood vessels
18
Q

Blood vessels

A

Arteries - carry blood AWAY from heart

Capillaries - tiny blood vessels with thin walls that allow diffusion to occur( connect arterie to vein)

Veins - carry blood to heart

Q

Substances transported by circulatory system

A
Nutrients
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Other wastes
Hormones
Etc
20
Q

Systems in flowering plants

A

Shoot system
Includes stem, leaves, flower, and fruit
Conducts photosynthesis(leaves) and sexual reproduction( flowers)
Some leaves are adapted for support, protection, reproduction, and attraction
Flowers contain male or female of both reproductive structures
Eggs are fertilized by pollen to produce seeds, usually contained inside a fruit
Pollination can occur with the help of wind, or animals
Stem supports other plant parts and transports materials

Root system - usually found underground
Absorbs water and minerals from soil and store food
Useful source of foods, flavouring, fibres, and natural remedies

21
Q

Plant tissue systems

A

Dermal tissue - forms outer surface of plant parts

  • epidermal tissue
  • periderm

Vascular tissue - cells specialized for transport

  • xylem
  • phloem

Ground tissue - makes up other structures
Performs photosynthesis, storage

More detail wb pg 190

22
Q

Xylem vs phloem

A
Xylem
- one way only
- water and minerals
- no end walls between cells
- thick walls stiffened with lignin
- dead cells
Phloem
- water and food
- cells have end walls with perforations
- two way flow
- living
