Assignment task: HUMAN (movement of nutrients from the pea plant to a cell in the thumb of a human):
Q1. State the chemical equation for cellular respiration, the organelle in which it occurs and the names of the required nutrients (oxygen + glucose) and the waste products (carbon dioxide + water)
Q2. Names of 3 main organ systems studied in the course
Q3. Trace the pathway of each required nutrient from the starch contained in the peas eaten & air inhaled by the human through each organ system, naming and pointing to each part in the pathway in order for those nutrients to reach the cell in a human thumb (be specific)
Q4. Explain how 2 parts of each organ system enable the nutrients to be delivered to the cell in the thumb (refer to specific functions of these parts)
Q5. Clearly explaining the interactions between the organ systems with each other (include parts that increase surface area to volume ratio & discuss diffusion of nutrients) and with cellular respiration in the cell
