What does the liver do?

A

Break down red blood cells and makes bile

20
Q

What does bile do?

A

Helps digest fat

21
Q

What does the Gallbladder do?

A

22
Q

What happens in the small intestine? (3)

A

Digestion, diffusion, food molecules go into your blood stream

23
Q

What happens in the large intestine? (2)

A

Water is absorbed, fecal matter is stored

24
Q

What does the digestive system do??

1) .Diarrhea 2) . Constipation 3) . Ulcers
26
Circulatory system malfunctions (2)
1) . Heart Disease 2) . Heart Attack 3) . High blood pressure
27
Respiratory system malfunctions (3)
1) . Emphysema (difficulty breathing) | 2) . Lung cancer
28

1). Urinary track infection
29
Nervous system malfunctions (1)
1). Brain tumor
30
Photosynthesis formula=
``` Carbon dioxide (6CO2) + Water (6H2O) + Light = Sugar (C6H12O6) + Oxygen (6O2) ```
31
What is at the 1st trophic level?
Producers
32
What is at the 2nd trophic level?
Herbivores
33
What is at the third trophic level?
Carnivores
34
What is at the top of the trophic level pyramid?
Top predators
35
Why is there less energy available at each trophic level going from the first to the third trophic level?
Because some energy is used by the organisms at each level and is not available to the organisms at the next level.
36
What is cellular communication?
Communication methods of living things
37
What are receptors?
An organ/ cell that is able to respond to stimuli and transmit a signal to the sensory system
38
Cellular Respiration formula
Glucose+O2=ATP, CO2, H2O
39
what do white blood cells do?
Make Antibodies Engulf pathogens
40
What do antibodies do?
Fight off infection
41
Where are antigens located?
On pathogens
