Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 1-nasal passage; 2-pharynx (throat); 3-larynx (voicebox); 4-trachea (windpipe); 5-Bronchial tube; 6-Pleura; 7-Bronchiole; 8-Alveoli; 9-Diaphragm | The respiratory system consists of 9 parts, what are they? |
| gas exchange | The lungs are the site of what? |
| inside thoracic cavity | Where are the lungs located? |
| rib cage and diaphragm | What surrounds the lungs? |
| oxygen and carbon dioxide | What two gases are exchanged in the lungs? |
| mouth and nose | Where does external respiration begin (2 places)? |
| pharynx | The ________________ allows passage of both food and air |
| epiglottis | covers the opening to the trachea when food is swallowed |
| trachea | the tube that carries air (comes after the pharynx) |
| larynx | the upper end of the trachea; where sounds are produced |
| larynx | What is another name for the voice box |
| pharynx | What is another name for the throat |
| bronchi | the trachea branches off into two ________________ |
| bronchioles | the bronchi branch into smaller tubes called |
| alveoli | tiny air sacs in the lungs |
| alveoli | where gas exchange takes place in the lungs |
| into | in the lungs (alveoli) oxygen diffuses (into or out of) the blood |
| out of | in the lungs (alveoli) carbon dioxide diffuses (into or out of) the blood |
| blood | this transports oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carries carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs |
| respiratory system | the function of this body system is to transport gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) to and from the cardiovascular system |
| breathing | the process of moving air into and out of the lungs |
| inspiration | taking air into the lungs |
| inspiration | when the ribs move outward and the diaphragm pushes down on the abdomen |
| expiration | expelling air from the lungs |
| expiration | when the rib muscles relax and the elastic tissues of the lungs recoil, deflating the lungs, and the diaphragm elevates |
| inspiration | when the diaphragm lowers |
| expiration | when the diaphragm elevates |
| cellular respiration | the process of releasing energy from glucose |
| mitochondria | this cell organelle carries out cellular respiration |
| glucose and oxygen | The reactants of the formula for cellular respiration are what? |
| glucose and oxygen | The products of the formula for photosynthesis are what? |
| CO2 | The formula for carbon dioxide is what? |
| H2O | The formula for water is what? |
| C6H12O6 | The formula for glucose is what? |
| aerobic respiration | glucose is broken down when it combines with oxygen |
| anaerobic respiration | glucose is broken down without oxygen |
| anaerobic respiration | Lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation are both examples of what? |
| lactic acid fermentation | process where ATP is produced when muscles run out of oxygen during vigorous activity |
| alcoholic fermentation | process that causes bread dough to rise (when dough runs out of oxygen it begins to ferment, giving off carbon dioxide bubbles that form air spaces in slices of bread, alcohol evaporates when bread is baked) |
| photosynthesis | What formula is the exact opposite of the formula for cellular respiration? |
| photosynthesis | The process of converting radiant energy of the sun to chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose |
| sun | Where do plants get their energy to make food? |
| chloroplasts | In this organelle in plants the pigment chlorophyll absorbs and traps light energy from the sun and converts it to ATP during photosynthesis |
| plant cell | chloroplasts are found ONLY in what type of cell? |
| 6CO2 + 6H2O yields C6H12O6 + 6O2 | What is the formula for photosynthesis? |
| 6CO2 + 6H2O | What are the reactants in photosynthesis (looking for formulas)? |
| carbon dioxide and water | What are the reactants in photosynthesis (looking for words)? |
| C6H12O6 + 6O2 | What are the products in photosynthesis (looking for formulas)? |
| glucose and oxygen | What are the products in photosynthesis (looking for words)? |
| 6CO2 + 6H2O | What are the products in cellular respiration (looking for formulas)? |
| C6H12O6 + 6O2 | What are the reactants in cellular respiration (looking for formulas)? |
| C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O | What is the formula for cellular respiration? |
| light reactions and dark reactions | photosynthesis is made up of two parts, what are they? |
| light reactions | In photosynthesis, when light energy is changed to chemical energy |
| dark reactions | What is another term for the Calvin Cycle? |
| calvin cycle | What is another term for dark reactions in photosynthesis? |
| dark reactions | In photosynthesis, when energy molecules and carbon dioxide are converted to glucose |
| chloroplasts | Where does photosynthesis take place (what organelle in plant cells)? |
| mitochondria | Where does cellular respiration take place (what organelle in animal cells)? |
