Read & Comprehend
Land animals inhale (breathe in) oxygen and exhale (breathe out) carbon dioxide.
Humans, animals like dogs and chickens, inhale air into their lungs to get the oxygen they
need.
Lungs are the respiratory organs of mammals.
Humans nose hair helps trap germs and bacteria so air is cleaned before it goes to the
lungs.
The pores in the leaves are called Stomata.
The pores in the branches of trees are called Lenticels.
Stems take water and minerals from the roots.
The stem of a Tree is called a Trunk.
Chlorophyll is the substance that gives plants their green color.
Plants convert the carbon dioxide into organic compounds of sugars (food) using water
and energy.
Plants have male and female organs.
The Stamen is the male organ where the pollen is produced.
The Pistil is the female organ, where ovules are produced.
Conifers are plants that do not have seeds and develop a cone in which seeds are
deposited.
Questions
[Link] do humans breathe?
//= Humans breathe through their respiratory system in two stages:
- First , air is inhaled through the nose and mouth
- Second, air is exhaled from the lungs and goes out through mouth and nose
[Link] do fish breathe?
//= They breathe by taking in oxygen from the water through their gills.
[Link] do insects breathe?
//= Insects breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, they have lungs or gills. They have
spiracles that allow air to enter.
[Link] do plants respire?
//= Roots take air from the soil and from the leaves pores in order to breathe.
[Link] is a Taproot?
//= Is a bigger and longer with branch roots on top.
[Link] do plants make food for themselves?
//= They produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
[Link] does Photosynthesis take place?
//= Is a process that takes place during the day when plants absorb light from the sun through the
chlorophyll of their leaves.
[Link] is the process of Pollination?
//= Is when the wind, bees, butterflies help transport the pollen from one flower to another.
9. What is a seed?
//= They are formed when the pollen reaches the ovule, is the most important part because it can
create a new plant.
[Link] do humans benefit from plants?
-Some Plants are food -Paper is made by trees -Furniture is made from trunks
-Fiber of the cotton plant is used for clothing -Plants are used for medicine
11. What is a food chain?
//= Is a sequence of organisms that rely on each other as a food source to survive in an ecosystem.
12. Explain the process of a food chain.
//= It begins as plants as producers that make their own food, then herbivores eat plants and
carnivores eat those animals, then come omnivores that eat plants and animals and at the end
microorganisms as decomposers eat the remaining’s of dead animals.
