What I Know

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: Definition of terms

1. Respiration- is a metabolic process that occurs in all organisms.

2. Cellular Respiration- is the process by which food, in the form of sugar (glucose), is
transformed into energy within cells.
3. Positive Pressure Breathing- is a type of respiratory therapy in which air or a
mixture of oxygen and other gases is delivered into the lungs under positive pressure.
4. Negative Pressure Breathing- when the diaphragm contracts, negative pressure
builds up within the lungs.
5. Air Sacs- are thin membranous structures that are connected to the primary or
secondary bronchi via ostia and make up the majority of the respiratory system's
volume.
6. Oxygen Transport- is the link between alveolar gas exchange and internal
respiration performed by the transport of oxygen dissolved in blood plasma and bound
to hemoglobin.
7. Carbon Dioxide Transport- is produced in tissues during the aerobic metabolism of
glucose and is transported in the blood to the lungs, where it is exhaled.

What I Know

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: Define the following words.

1. Xylem- plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from

the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. 
2. Phloem- Plant vascular tissue that transports foods produced in the leaves during
photosynthesis to all other parts of the plant. Phloem is made up of specialized cells
known as sieve elements, phloem fibres, and phloem parenchyma cells.
3. Diffusion- the movement of individual molecules of a substance through a
semipermeable barrier from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower
concentration.
4. Cell Transport- refers to the movement of substances across the cell membrane.
5. Circulation- the continuous movement of blood throughout the body, driven by the
pumping action of the heart.
6. Arteries- a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to tissues and organs in the
body.
7. Veins- a blood vessel that carries blood to the heart from tissues and organs in the
body.
8. Valves- are flap-like structures present in heart that allow blood to flow in one
direction. The valves control the flow of blood through the heart by opening and
closing during the contractions of the heart.
9. Systemic Circulation- transports oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the
capillaries in the body's tissues via the arteries.
10. Pulmonary Circulation- the process of air flowing into the lungs during inspiration
(inhalation) and out of the lungs during expiration (exhalation)
