25
what does breathing involve
moving air in an out of the lungs
26
first thing when breathing in
Ribs move up and out
27
second thing when breathing in
diaphragm flattens and moves down
28
third thing when breathing in
space inside the lung increases
29
fourth thing when breathing in
this increases the volume and reduces the pressure *
30
first thing when breathing out
ribs move down and in
31
second thing when breathing out
diaphragm moves up
32
third thing when breathing out
space inside the lung decreases
33
fourth thing when breathing out
decreses the volume an increases the pressure
34
what are the lungs made of
tiny air sacs called aveoli
35
name two characteristics of air sacs
tiny and moist
36
when does gas exgange happen
carbon dioxide is pushed out and oxygen is brought in.
37
how does exercise affect breathing
improves gas exgange
38
how does athma affect breathing*
it causes breathing tubes to narrow, making breathing diffcult
39
how does smoking affect breathing
damages the breathing tubes so that mucus builds up
40
name the process by which oxygen moves from the air in our lungs into the blood.
distillation
41
what is a healthy diet
a healthy diet contains all of the classes of food in the right proportion.
42
purpose of carbohydrate
gives the body energy
43
purpose of fat
provides energy supply and insulation
44
purpose of protein
used for growth.
45
purpose of vitamins
needed to keep our bodies healthy
46
purpose of minerals
needed to keep our bodies healthy
47
purpose of fibre
helps undigested food pass quickly through the gut
48
purpose of water
dissolves chemicals so that chemical reactions can take place
49
how is energy in food measured?
joules
50
1 calorie =to _________ joules
4.2
51
what causes obesity
eating to much food
52
when you eat to little it leads to
starvation malnutrition
53
not eating enough protien leads to
kwashoirkor
54
not eating enough vitamins
causes different diseases e.g., scurvy.
55
not eating enogh minerals leads to
lack of iron anaemia lack of calcium soft bones
56
the way food travels through
mouth esophagus stomach intestine rectum and anus
57
what are emzymes
these are protiens which speed up chemical reaction
58
what is photosynthesis
this is a process which plants make their own food
59
the word equation for how plants make food
water + carbon dioxide ------ glucose oxygen
60
diffrence in feeding between plant and animals
animals eat food plants make food
61
what is respiration
this is the process by which organisms realese enegry
62
name the types of respiration
aerobic and anaerobic respiration
63
what is aerobic respiration
this is the process in which food (glucose) is converted into energy in the presence of oxygen
64
word equation for aerobic respiration
glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide+ energy
65
what is anaerobic respiration
this is when not enough oxygen is not enough
66
what do humans breack glucose to
lactic acid
67
word equation for anaerobic respiration
glucose ---> lactic acid+ energy
68
what is fermination
this is when yeast breaks glucose down into alcohol and carbon dioxide
69
word equation for yeast5
glucose-----> alcohol + carbon dioxide + energy
70
uses glucose
both
71
uses oxygen
aerobic
72
produces carbon dioxide

74
releases lots of energy
aerobic
75
can prodce lactic acid

76
can produce alcohol.
anaerobic in fermintation
77
causes mucscle fatique

78
name 2 functions perfromed by the skeleton
supports the body and gives it a shape. Acts like a framework
79

80
the bones in a joint are held together by_________
ligaments
81
the end of each bone is covered by a__________
cartilage
82
muscles are attached to the bones by ___________
tendons
83
what is an antagonistic pair?

89
why are leaves the place where photosynthesis takes place?
they are thin. they have a large surface area. they have small holes called stomata. they have tiny tubes called xylem to carry water and minerals from the root to the leaves. they have tiny tubes called phloem to carry glucose away for storage.
90
define how three of the points you have made adapt to the plant.
are thin- they are not heavy. stomata-allow gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to enter or leave the leaf. have a large surface area- to catch as much sunlight as possible.
