1. Nutrition is the process by which organisms obtain food for energy and growth.
2. Chlorophyll.
3. Oxygen.
4. Respiration is the process of breaking down food to release energy.
5. Lungs.
6. Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from plant leaves.
7. Red blood cells.
8. Oesophagus (food pipe).
9. Xylem transports water and minerals in plants.
10. Excretion.
11. Kidney.
12. Heartbeat is one complete contraction and relaxation of heart.
13. Plasma.
14. Respiration.
15. Stomatal pore.
16. Ingestion is the intake of food.
17. Artery.
18. Diffusion is movement of substances from higher to lower concentration.
19. Chloroplast.
20. Egestion is removal of undigested food.
21. Autotrophic nutrition is making food by plants using sunlight. Example: Green plants.
22. Chlorophyll traps sunlight for photosynthesis.
23. Inhalation takes in oxygen; exhalation releases carbon dioxide.
24. Double circulation means blood passes twice through the heart in one cycle.
25. Blood transports gases and nutrients.
26. Stomata are pores on leaves; they help in gas exchange.
27. Transpiration is loss of water vapour from aerial parts of plant.
28. Aerobic respiration occurs in presence of oxygen.
29. Heart pumps blood and maintains circulation.
30. Excretion is removal of metabolic waste from body.
31. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food using CO■, water and sunlight.
32. Digestive system breaks food into simpler substances for absorption.
33. Respiration in humans involves breathing and cellular respiration.
34. Heart is a muscular organ with four chambers.
35. Transportation in plants occurs through xylem and phloem.
36. Aerobic uses oxygen; anaerobic does not.
37. Excretion in humans occurs through kidneys.
38. Transpiration helps in cooling and transport of water.
39. Nephron is the structural and functional unit of kidney.
40. Blood circulates through heart, lungs and body.
41. Diagram based – Human heart.
42. Diagram based – Nephron.
