Give an example of how the circulatory system and respiratory system interact in the human body.

• The respiratory system pumps blood throughout the body

• Oxygen is directly absorbed by the skin and does not involve the circulatory system

• The circulatory system is responsible for breathing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide

• Oxygen is inhaled through the respiratory system, enters the bloodstream through the lungs, and is carried by red blood cells to tissues. Carbon dioxide produced by cells is picked up by the blood, transported back to the lungs, and exhaled.

Name the largest organ in the human body.

• Lungs

• Heart

• Skin

• Liver

What is the primary function of the white blood cells in the human body?

• Transporting oxygen

• Fighting infections

• Clotting blood

• Producing hormones

Which process in plants converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, using sunlight?

• Cellular respiration

• Transpiration

• Photosynthesis

• Fermentation
