CONTENT CHART -- Investigation 1, Part 1 Circulation What do cells need to stay alive? Water, food, oxygen, and waste disposal Ho do cells get the things they need to survive? The circulatory system delivers water, sugar, and oxygen to cells and carries waste car on dioxide away from cells! What is the general !ath ta"en #y #lood through the circulatory system? Path ta"en y the lood# from the ody to the right atrium of the heart, to the right ventricle, to the lungs, to the left atrium, to the left ventricle, into arteries that flow into capillaries, which are in contact with cells! $lood returns to the heart in the veins! What ha!!ens i$ aste !roducts are not $iltered $rom the #lood? If too much waste uilds up in cells, the cells will die! Why is it im!ortant $or #lood to circulate through the lungs? It is important to remove %O& from the lood, add O& to the lood, and remove nutrients from the lood! CONTENT CHART ' Investigation 1, Part & %igestion Ho do cells in humans get the nutrients they need? The digestion system reduces food to nutrients! (utrients pass out of the digestive system into the loodstream for transport to all cells! Ho does the digestive system or"? Physical and chemical processes rea" complex food into simple su stances as it progresses from the mouth through the esophagus to the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and colon! Ho are cellular astes removed $rom the #lood? $lood filters through the "idneys, which remove cellular wastes, convert them to urine, and store them in the ladder! CONTENT CHART & Investigation &, Part 1 'ascular (lants What structures do vascular !lants have $or trans!orting carry water and minerals from plant roots to its leaves! ater? Internal tu es called xylem

What structures do vascular !lants have $or trans!orting sugar? Internal tu es called phloem carry sugar)rich sap from a plant*s cells that produce sugar to its cells that do not produce sugar! Ho are the circulatory system in animals and the vascular system in !lants di$$erent $rom each other? The circulatory system transports lood around the ody! The vascular system has two parts! +ylem transports water and minerals up, and phloem transports sugar down and to all the cells of the plant!

Ho are the circulatory system in animals and the vascular system in !lants similar to each other? $oth systems transport food and water to cells! Ho does ater in the ground travel to the leaves at the to! o$ a tree? Water enters the tree through the roots! The water flows up the roots and tree in the xylem tu es! The xylem tu es carry the water all the way to the leaves at the top of the tree! CONTENT CHART & Investigation &, Part & Lea$ Classi$ication Ho do scientists organi)e o#*ects and in$ormation? Scientists classify things y putting them in groups or classes ased on similar properties or ehaviors! CONTENT CHART ' Investigation ,, Part 1 +a"ing Sugar What is !hotosynthesis? Photosynthesis is the process in which sugar -food. is made from car on dioxide, water, and solar energy, and oxygen is released! What are the !roducts o$ !hotosynthesis? Oxygen, water, and sugar are the products of photosynthesis! Where do each o$ the !roducts o$ !hotosynthesis go? Oxygen goes into the air, water goes into cells and the air, and sugar goes into the phloem Why do !lants !roduce their o n $ood? To provide food and energy to the cells of the plant Ho do !lants use the $ood !roduced in !hotosynthesis? When plant cells rea" down the sugar to %O& and water, energy is released! The cells use the energy! CONTENT CHART ' Investigation ,, Part & ,sing Sugar What is cellular res!iration? %ellular respiration is the process y which plant and animal cells rea" down sugar to get energy, releasing car on dioxide in the process! What is sa! and hy do !lants need it? Sap is excess sugar made in the leaves, the sugar rich li/uid that flows form the phloem to plant cells that do not ma"e their own food -sugar.! (hotosynthesis.
