What are the two main phases the heart operates in to ensure efficient blood circulation?

Back

Systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation

Front

What role do stomata play in transpiration?

Back

They allow water vapor to escape.

Front

Back

Sub-Saharan Africa

Front

Define transpiration in plants.

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from plant leaves into the atmosphere.

Front

What is the function of the heart's ventricles?

Back

The ventricles pump blood out of the heart to the lungs and the rest of the body.

Front

Explain the significance of high wind speed on plant transpiration rates.

Back

High wind speed increases the rate of transpiration by removing water vapor from around the leaf surface, creating a gradient that promotes further water loss.

Front

What is systemic circulation?

Back

Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Front

What are stomata and where are they located?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange, including the release of water vapor.
