WHEN BREATH IN, the chest
expands, cavity increases
reducing the pressure inside,
THE DIAPHRAM moves down
and ribs move up and out
WHEN BREATHING OUT,
volume of cavity
decreases, increasing
pressure forcing air out.
diaphram up, ribs
contract and down.
Alveoli
large surface area, thin cell
membrane, good blood
supply, many of them
gaseous exchange occurs here
exchange CO2 OUT of the bloodstream,
O2 INTO the blood stream
blood capillary
ADAPTED
2 smaller lungs, increase surface
area. moist lining , lungs expand, 2
large surface area, easier absorbtion
of air. small alveoli with large surface
area. very thin cell membrane easy to
absorb oxygen and transport it.
DIFFUSION/ACTIVE TRANSPORT/OSMOSIS
Diffusion
diffusion is the spreading
out of particles from an area
of high concentration to an
area of low concentration
happens in
plants
photosynthesis, water movement.
animals
lungs, digestion
Active Transport
opposite to Diffusion and uses energy
from respiration, from a low
concentration to a high concentration
happens in
gut, plant roots
Osmosis
Osmosis is the movement
of WATER molecules
across a PARTIALLY
PERMEABLE MEMBRANE
from a region of HIGH
WATER CONCENTRATION
to a region of LOW WATER
CONCENTRATION
Phloem
Sugar Transportation
living cells
need energy which is
transported from cell
to cell in the form of
dissolved sugars
GUT
VILLI
big SURFACE
AREA, single
layer of surface
cells. v.good
blood supply
digested food absorded more easily
small intestine
Absorbtion in Plants
stoma/stomata in
the leaf takes in CO2
spongy - absorbs water,
holes underside of leaf.
Plant Transport
root hair cell
have thin cell
membranes, large
surface area and
good transport.
Photosynthesis
CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER => OXYGEN+GLUCOSE
light + chlorophyll
Xylem
dead hollow tubes
water and mineral transportation
strong-help support the plant
Transpiration
the rate of
transpiration is how
water moves through
the plant.
Affected by:
light intensity,
temperature,
air movement,
decrease in
humidity
as light intensifies, more
stomata open up, however
when all stomata are open, the
rate of transipation cannot increase.
