adapted to maximise effectriveness
Active Transport
Low to High concentration
Diffusion
high to low concentration
spread of a weird smell
dissolved particles
in/out cell membranes
Osmosis
only water moevement
across a partially permeable membrane
cell membrane
high watrer concentration to low water concentration

flattened
increased are for exchange
airspace
increase surface area around cells for absorption

photosynthesis
stomata
open at night
cooler
stores CO2 at night
uses CO2 during day
Respiration System
blood
oxygen in
carbon dioxide out
lungs
found in thorax
top part of body
diaphragm
separates lungs form lower part
protected by rib cage
air in
trachea
2 bronchi tubes
smaller bronchiole tubes
split into alveoli
enormous surface are (75m2)
moist lining for dissolving gases
very thin walls
copious blood supply
DIFFUSION of gases
gas transfer to blood happens in lungs
breath in
intercostal muscles & diaphragm contract
diaphragm flattens out
thorax volume increases
decrease pressure = air in
breath out
intercostal muscles and diaphragm relax
diaphragm moves up
thorax volume decreases
air forced out
Digestive System
Solution exchange
small intestines
villi
big surface area
single layer surface cells
digested food absorbed
into blood
DIFFUSION
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
active transport
glucose from gut
glucose from kidney tubules
high concentration glucose & amino acids in gut
natural diffusion
low concentration glucose and amino acids in gut
active transport
allows uptake of nutrients]
Root Hairs
active transport
against the concentration gradient
needs energy
respiration
large surface are
absorbe
water
mineral ions
