Where sugars are made in plant cells by photosynthesis. Only green parts of a plant have them (e.g. leaves).

24
Q

Micrometre

A

1000th of a millimetre.

(1000 micrometers = 1 mm)

25
Q

A

Made of many cells.

26
Q

Specialised cell

A

A cell adapted for a particular function.

(e.g. egg cell, muscle cell)

27
Q

Tissue

A

A group of specialised cells.

(e.g. muscle tissue = group of muscle cells)

28
Q

Organ

A

A structure containing different types of tissue.

(e.g. heart, lungs, etc.)

29
Q

Organ system

A

A group of organs working together.

(e.g. digestive system)

30
Q

Digestive system

A

Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.

31
Q

Name three organs which are part of the digestive system.

A

Any three of:

Tongue

Salivary glands

Oesophagus/gullet

A

Stomach

34
Q

A

Small intestine

36
Q

Oesophagus/gullet

A

Tube that squeezes the food down to the stomach.

37
Q

Stomach

A

A bag that churns up food. It contains acid and gastric juice.

Q

Small intestine

A

Very long tube food passes through after leaving the stomach. Food is completely digested and absorbed into the blood stream.

40
Q

Circulatory system

A

Circulates blood which carries materials around the body.

41
Q

Name three organs which are part of the circulatory system.

A

Any three of:

heart

arteries

veins

capillaries

blood

42
Q

Heart

A

Pushes blood through the blood vessels.

43
Q

Arteries

A
