Answer 2

Glucose+Oxygen carbon dioxide +water+energy

Question 3

Question 4

Anaerobic respiration

Answer 4

Does not use oxygen to release energy from food

Question 5

How does oxygen get to cells

Answer 5

Windpipe that carries air to and from the lungs it is made of c-shaped rings of rigid cartilage (to prevent it from collapsing.

Question 9

Bronchus and bronchioles

Answer 9

We have 2 bronchi. Each bronchus carries air between the trachea and lung. The 2 bronchi subdivide many times to form tiny cubes called bronchioles. Bronchioles carry air to and from air sacs, or alveoli.

Question 10

Alveolus

Answer 10

Each lung contains millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli. The function of each alveolus is gas exchange. Oxygen passes from the air in the alveolus into the blood vessels at the same time carbon dioxide and blood vessels into each alveolus

Question 11

Diaphragm

Answer 11

The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle that forms the base of the chest. Along with the ribs and intercostal muscles. The diaphragm causes air to move into or out of the lungs.
