What are the 3 plant tissues and what is their function?

Protective (prevents water loss and protects plant) , photosynthetic (transforms the Sun's energy into sugar), transport (contain hollow tub like cells that move food and water through the plant)

New cards
24

What is the shoot system of a plant?

Above-ground part of a plant

New cards
25

What is the root system of a plant?

Below-ground part of a plant

New cards

How are lungs and oxygen connected?

Lungs receive oxygen for blood and muscles

New cards
27

How are Buildings and the skeletal system similar?

Both provide structure and shelter

New cards
28

How are Buses and trains and cardiovascular system similar?

Both transport and send things where needed

New cards
29

How are Libraries and nervous system similar?

Both collect and store information

New cards

New cards
32

What are 5 examples of connective tissues?

Blood, fat, cartilage, tendons, and bone

New cards
33

The spinal cord, brain, and nerves are all made up of BLANK tissues.

Nervous tissue makes up these organs.

New cards
34

What does the epithelial tissue line?

the inside of organs, such as the small intestine in lined by this tissue

New cards
35

What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?

skeletal, cardiac, smooth are the types of tissue.

New cards
36

What is skeletal muscle?

also called striated muscle, it is attached to the skeleton. It is voluntary controlled.

New cards
37

What is cardiac muscle?

The muscle that makes a heart beat. We can't control it (it's involuntary)

roots, stems, leaves

New cards
40

What is a tumour?

mass of abnormally growing/ cancerous cells

New cards
41

What is paralysis?

the inability to move muscles.

New cards
42

How can the spinal cord cause paralysis?

If the spinal cord is severed below the shoulders, the lower body and legs are paralysed.

If the spinal cord is servered in the neck area, all four limbs can be paralyzed.

When severed nerve impulses from the body are not able to make it to the brain, and vice versa.

New cards
43

How has tech developed to compensate for lack of mobility?

Wheelchairs have been approved, access to building/transportation has been improved as well.

New cards
44

Are viruses living? Why or why not?

Viruses are not living because they can’t make their own energy or divide on their own. They need host cells to reproduce in.

New cards
45

What is the spinal cord?

The body’s spinal cord has cells that transmits nerve impulses from the senses to the brain and carries impulses from the brain to muscles so that they can move. (communication link from brain to body)

New cards
