Question 7

what is the ‘formula’ for cellular respiration

Answer 7

Question 8

oxygen

Answer 8

it is absorbed into the blood, from the air, by the respiratory system

Question 9

glucose

Answer 9

it is absorbed into the blood from food in the digestive system

Question 10

the little branches coming off the big tubes, and they make sure that air in the lungs is delivered to the alveoli.

Question 19

Question 20
