How does the cardiovascular system interact with the respiratory system?

Question

A.
Blood helps the brain interpret different smells.

B.
Blood helps the lungs to inflate and deflate to breathe.

C.
Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to other organs.

D.
Blood transports nutrients from the stomach to other organs.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to other organs.

The cardiovascular system (which includes the heart and blood vessels) and the respiratory system (which includes the lungs and airways) work together to supply oxygen to the body and remove carbon dioxide. The respiratory system allows oxygen to enter the lungs, where it then diffuses into the blood. The cardiovascular system then transports this oxygen-rich blood to various organs and tissues throughout the body.

Answer 2

Cells contain a certain structure that acts as a gatekeeper in order to maintain homeostasis. This gatekeeper controls what is able to enter and exit the cell. Plant cells produce oxygen as a waste product. What cell structure allows this oxygen to pass into the environment?

A.
chloroplast

B.
vacuole

C.
endoplasmic reticulum

D.
cell membrane

Answer 3

The correct answer is:

D. cell membrane

The cell membrane acts as a gatekeeper for the cell, controlling what enters and exits. In plant cells, oxygen produced during photosynthesis in the chloroplasts can pass through the cell membrane into the environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing certain molecules, such as oxygen, to diffuse out of the cell.

Answer 4

In the diagram below, structure A is labeled in two different types of cells. Which statement gives the best description of structure A?

A.
It helps regulate what enters and exits both cells.

B.
It helps absorb sunlight for both cells.

C.
It converts chemical energy into usable energy for both cells.

D.
It contains the DNA for both cells.

Answer 5

The best description of structure A, assuming it is a cell membrane since you've mentioned it is labeled in two different types of cells (and based on common cellular structures), would be:

A. It helps regulate what enters and exits both cells.

This is because the cell membrane functions as a protective barrier that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell in both plant and animal cells.

Answer 6

The digestive system includes groups of tissues that absorb nutrients from food that has already been broken down. What is the best way to classify this group of tissues?
A.
an organelle

B.
an organ system

C.
an organ

D.
an individual organism

Answer 7

The best way to classify the group of tissues in the digestive system that absorbs nutrients from food is:

B. an organ system

The digestive system is made up of various organs (like the stomach, intestines, liver, etc.) working together to perform the complex functions of digestion and nutrient absorption. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function in the body.

Answer 8

The diagram shows a plant cell.

Which statement best describes the organelle labeled X?
A.
The ribosome creates proteins for the cell.

B.
The mitochondrion creates energy for the cell.

C.
The nucleus stores most of the genetic information for the cell.

D.
The nucleus controls everything that enters and exits the cell.

Answer 9

The correct answer is:

C. The nucleus stores most of the genetic information for the cell.

The nucleus is the organelle that contains the majority of the cell's genetic material (DNA) and is involved in regulating various cellular processes, including gene expression. While the nucleus does have a role in controlling many cellular functions, it does not directly control everything that enters and exits the cell; that function is primarily managed by the cell membrane.

Answer 10

Michael almost gets into an accident in his car. How does his organ systems respond to this event?
A.
All of his organ systems stop working.

B.
His heart beats faster and his breathing rate increases.

C.
His respiration rate slows down.

D.
All of his neurons become paralyzed for ten seconds.

Answer 11

The correct answer is:

B. His heart beats faster and his breathing rate increases.

When a person experiences a stressful situation, such as almost getting into an accident, the body activates the "fight or flight" response. This leads to an increase in heart rate and breathing rate, preparing the body for a quick reaction to potential danger. Other physiological changes may also occur, such as increased adrenaline levels and heightened alertness.
