Q

how do plants take up water from the soil?

A

plants take up water from the soil by osmosis. Water absorption is largely carried out by the younger part of the roots which have tiny extensions called root hairs. These act to increase the surface area through which water can enter the plant

Q

what does the xylem consist of?

A

xylem consist of long cells joined end to end to form tubes. The ends of the cells in the xylem vessels have broken down to allow free movement of water

Q

what are stomatas?

A

stomatas are small pores found on leaf surfaces. They allow gasses to diffuse in and out of the leaf, but water can also be lost through them

Q

what happens every time the heart beats?

Q

does a artery have valves?

A

no

24
Q

does the capillary have valves?

A

no

25
Q

do veins have valves?

A

yes

26
Q

do arteries have thick or thin walls?

A

arteries have thick muscular walls and a narrow lumen (channel) because they carry blood under high pressure

27
Q

are capillaries thick or thin?

A

capillaries are thin, narrow and have a large surface area.Forming networks are organs and tissue. They allow the exchange of materials

28
Q

where does oxygen and food diffuse from?

A

oxygen and food diffuse from the blood into the body cells where they are used in respiration to provide energy.
and carbon dioxide which is produced diffuses from the cells into the capillaries

29
Q

what are the 3 different types of blood cells?

A

red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet

30
Q

what is haemoglobin involved in the transport of?

A

haemoglobin is involved in the transport of oxygen. It binds with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin

haemoglobin+oxygen ➡️ oxyhaemoglobin

31
Q

what are special features of red blood cells?

A

they are biconcave discs, this increases the surface area allowing them to pick up more oxygen. They are small and flexible so they can fit through narrow blood vessels

32
Q

what do lungs allow the body to do?

A

the lungs are organs which allow the body to take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide

33
Q

where are the lungs and the heart found?

A

the lungs and the heart are found in the thorax - this is a sealed unit formed by the chest wall and a layer of muscle called the diaphragm

34
Q

what is the function of the trachea?

A

hallow tube that connects the mouth and nose to the bronchi supported by rings of cartilage which holds the airway open

35
Q

what is the the bronchi?

A

two tubes that connect the trachea to the bronchioles

36
Q

what’s the the bronchioles?

A

narrow tubes that spread across the lungs

37
Q

what’s the function of the alveoli (air sacks)?

A

where exchange takes place

38
Q

what is the function of the diaphragm?

A

dome-shaped sheet of muscle that contracts and relaxes to help breathing

39
Q

what is the function of the ribs?

A

protect the lungs

40
Q

what’s the function of the intercostal muscles?

A

contract and relax to expand or shrink the chest cavity during breathing

41
Q

where does oxygen diffuse?

A

oxygen diffuses in the blood

42
Q

why are alveoli good at gas exchange?

A

alveoli are good at gas exchange because they have a large surface area, they have a good bloody supply , their lining is moist and they are very thin

43
Q

what is breathing?

A

breathing is the process of moving air in and out of the lungs

44
Q

what are the two muscles responsible for breathing?

A

intercostal muscle and the diaphragm

45
Q

what happens when inhaling?

A

diaphragm- flat contracts
ribs move - up and out
chest cavity - larger
air moves - in

46
Q

what happens when exhaling?

A

diaphragm - done relaxes
ribs move - down and in
chest cavity - smaller
air moves - out

47
Q

what is digestion?

A

digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble molecules into small soluble molecules and absorption into the blood

48
Q

where does food go when ur leaves the stomach?

A

it enters the small intestine which is about 6m long and is a muscular tube lined with specialised cells to digest and absorb nutrients

49
Q

what do capillaries absorb?

A

capillaries absorb glucose and amino acids

50
Q

what happens if the blood vessels in the heart becomes blocked ?

A

the person suffers from a heart attack

51
Q

what do valves stop?

A

the back flow of blood

52
Q

what are valves supported by ?

A

valves are supported by tendons which stop the valve being turned inside out

53
Q

what do the buscupid valves separate

A

the left artium from the right ventricle

54
Q

what is breathing?

A

breathing is the process of moving air in and out of the lungs

55
Q

where does gas exchange occur?

A

gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs
