1.
A respiratory system by which air (oxygen) from the
enviorment enters the body of an organism and carbon
dioxide the end product of respiration gets removed from
the body
a transporting medium the blood which carries oxygen to
every cell of the body
organic food that must be chemically broken down in the
cells to liberate energy
2. The number of timies a person breathes is termed as
breathing rate. one breath involves one inhalation and
one exhalation.
[Link] respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen
where food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide
water and energy stored in the form of atp
4. anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.
this is a normal feature in microorganism like bacteria
and yeast. in anaerobic respiration glucoes partially
breaks into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol
[Link] heavy exercise muscles breath anaerobically and
produce lactic acid accumilation of this lactic acid causes
muscle cramps.
5. lungs: the lungs are a pair of spongy air filled organs
located on either side of the chest . the left lung is 2
lobed and slightly smaller then the right lung which is 3
lobed. it is protected by the ribcage and sternum in the
front and the vertibral column in the back. just beneath
the lungs is a dome shaped muscular sheet called the
diaphargm
6. insects like cockroaches and grasshoppers and bees
have special air holes on their body surface called
spiracles. exchange of gases takes place through theses
holes
7. when we feel sleeply breathing rate of respirstion
slows down becaus e of lungs will not get enough oxygen
and we yawn yawning brings extra oxygen to the lungs
and helps in being in awake
8. the property of light that always travels in in a straight
line is known a s rectilinear propogation of line.
9. when light reflects on a smooth or polished surface the
light get reflected in a well defined manner this is known
as regular reflection
when light gets reflects on a rough or uneven surface it
gets reflected and scatterted in all directions this is called
irregular reflection.
10. image formaed by a plane mirror is always virtual and
erect
size of object is same as the size of image formed and
image is latterally inverted
image is formed at the same distance behind the mirror
as it stands int front of it
11. we use plane mirror in our homes as looking glass.
mirror are used in optical instruments like kaleidoscope
and periscope
they are used in solar cooker to reflect light
they are used in maintain distance chart for testing
eyesight
12. convex mirror: a mirror thst curves outward like the
exterior of a spoon
concave mirror: a mirror taht curves inward like the
interior of a spoon
13. the inner surface of a spoona acts a concave mirror
when we keep an object very close to the depressed side
of the spoon we will get a erect and enlargered image as
we move away from the depressed side of the spoon the
image becomes inverted and smaller in size
the outer surface of the spoon acts like a convex mirroor
the image fromed by a convex mirror is always erect and
smaller than the acctual image
