mitochondria

• organelle where cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals (makes ATP)

• a unit used to measure the amount of energy contained in foods

• the human body system that contians the heart, blood, and all of the blood vessels. It delivers all the nutrients to the cells

• exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) at the lung capillaries (external respiration) and at the tissue capillaries (internal respiration)
