Q

What organs are in the digestive system and what do they do?

A

Salivary glands - secretes saliva which contains enzymes to break down starch in food
Liver - secretes bile to aid digestion of fats
Pancreas - secretes pancreatic juices jock contain enzymes to break down starch, proteins, and fats
Stomach - where proteins are digested
Small intestine - where the enzyme from the pancreas work, where absorption happens.
Large intestine - more water absorbed, faeces created

17
Q

What are the tissues in a leaf and what does it do?

A

Waxy cuticle
Upper epidermis - protects plants from pathogens, protects cells, stops too much water loss
Paliside mesophyll - close together, ordered, helps with photosynthesis
Spongy mesophyll - spread out, big SA for gas exchange
Lower epidermis - protects plants from pathogens, protects cells, stops too much water loss
Stomata - Lets gasses diffuse in and out of the leaf
Guard cell

18
Q

What are xylem and phloem tubes?

A

Found throughout a plant.

Transport water and nutrients through plant.
