Living Systems Post Test Study Guide

TEST is Wednesday 10-12-11
1.       The heart keeps blood moving throughout your body.
2.       Sugar is an energy rich substance made by plants that is used as a source of energy for cells.
3.       Scientists classify leaves by color, blade shape, venation (veins), and leaf margins.
4.       Water and minerals get to each cell in a plant through the xylem tubes.
5.       Sap is the excess of sugar made in the leaves.
6.       Plants need sap because it is the food used by all the plant cells that do not make their own food.
7.       Know the purpose of the following organs and tissues in the body:
·         Capillary-reaches every cell in the body
·         Small intestine-passes nutrients from digested food into the blood
·         Kidney- filters waste products from the blood
·         Artery-carries blood from the heart to the body
·         Lung- exchanges gases with the atmosphere
·         Blood-carries oxygen, food, and nutrients through vessels
·         Heart-pumps blood throughout the body
·         Stomach-breaks down food with digestive juices and muscles
 8. For plants to make their own food, CO2 (carbon dioxide), water (H20) and light must be present.
 9. Be able to label a diagram of the circulatory system parts: lungs, veins, arteries, capillaries, & heart.
10.  The body’s cells get all the things they need to survive when the capillaries carry blood rich with oxygen, food, and other nutrients to every cell and then carry all waste materials away.
11. The following foods contain sugar: apples, regular (not diet) soda, raisins, and frosted cereal.
12. The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood.
13. Cellular respiration is the process where plant cells break down sugar.
14. Cellular respiration is the name of the process where animal cells break down sugar.
15. How do we “consume” solar energy? Plants must have sunlight to produce their own food/sugar. Animals eat plants and use the food the plants made.
16. The circulatory system in animals is similar to the vascular system in plants.
17. The first step of digestion occurs in the mouth. This is where food is broken into smaller pieces and    mixed with saliva.

About Me

My photo
Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! I am so happy and grateful to be a part of the Buffalo Trail community and especially the wonderful 5th grade team. This is my 2nd year at BTE and my 12th year of teaching. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in Kentucky and Colorado. Before moving to Denver three years ago, I lived in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio. I earned a BS from the University of Kentucky and my MAT from the University of Louisville. In 2007, I became a National Board Certified Teacher with an emphasis in Early/Middle Childhood Reading and Language Arts. In my free time, I love to read, ride my bike, try new restaurants, and go to concerts/sports events. I love cheering my teams on during basketball season, hiking, and skiing. I am loving Colorful Colorado and look forward to our new adventures together!
