1. The energy of the sun spits the water, which is provided by the
roots, into hydrogen and oxygen.
3. The hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide, taken from the air, to
form glucose – a simple sugar which is the food that plants need to
live. The glucose is transported for storage in other parts of the
plant.
B.) Germination is the process whereby a seed develops into a plant.
2. The radicle (young root) begins to push its way through the
softened seed coat and into the ground. The roots grow
downwards so that they can provide sufficient water and nutrients
for the shoot (plumule) after it breaks through the surface of soil.
3. The plumule arises above the surface of the ground and develops
leaves. Photosynthesis begins to take place.
C.) Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of
a plant.
Pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma by two
things viz:
Wind
6. Sperm cells unite with egg and polar nuclei, causing embryo and
endosperm to form.
2. A.) Circulation is the process by which blood flows from the heart to
all parts of the body.
1. Blood leaves the Left Ventricle of the heart through the Aortic Semi
Lunar Valve and enters the Aorta.
2. The aorta divides into two to supply the upper part of the body and
the lower part of the body.
3. The blood returns to the Right Atrium from the upper part of the
body through a large vein called the Superior Vena Cava.
4. The blood returns to the Right Atrium from the lower part of the
body through a large vein called the Inferior Vena Cava.
6. The blood, from the Right Atrium, passes through the Tricuspid
Valve and enters the Right Ventricle.
7. From the Right Ventricle the blood passes through the Pulmonary
Semi Lunar Valve and enters the Pulmonary Artery, which takes it to
the lungs.
10. From the left atrium the blood passes through the bicuspid valve
into the left ventricle where circulation begins again.
B.) Digestion is the breaking down of food into a form which the body
can use.
Mouth
Food is broken up into tiny bits (masticated)
Saliva flows from salivary glands and changes starchy foods into
Maltose
Gastric Juice flows from the walls of the stomach and continues to
change food
Duodenum
Pancreatic Juice from the Pancreas and Bile from the liver, pour over
the food which continues to change
Small Intestine
– Intestinal Juices complete the
