Gas exchange: oxygen is exchanged with the gas…
Carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is a waste product
Where does gas exchange takes place
Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli
You inhale …….%. Percent oxygen
21%
You exhale…% oxygen
16%
You inhale…% carbon dioxide
0.04%
You exhale…% carbon dioxide
4%
You inhale…% nitrogen
78%
How much nitrogen do you exhale?
The same without you inhale 78%
Name three adaptions of the alveoli
Then walls so gas exchange can take place quickly, moist allows gasses to dissolve and has a large surface area to allow gas the past through
Digestive system:
The food enters the body through the _____________ then it travel down the _____________.
Mouth
Gullet/oesophagus
After the food has traveled down the gullet it enters the ___________.
Stomach
What happens to food in the stomach?

What happens in the small intestine?
Small digested food molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream.
What does gut bacteria do?
It lives in intestine and helps to break down the food
What is thermo decomposition?

What is an endothermic reaction?
Reaction that take in heat.
Ice pack
What’s an exothermic reaction?
Reactions that give out heat. The heat EXits.
What the word equation for aerobic respiration?
Glucose+oxygen———>carbon dioxide +water (+energy)
What is the equation for oxygen debt?
Latic acid+oxygen ——-> carbon dioxide + water
Word equation for photosynthesis is….
Carbon dioxide + water —-> glucose + oxygen
Fermentation equation is…
Ethanol+carbon dioxide—-> glucose
