Respiration
Respiration
The process where living organisms break down glucose to release energy, using oxygen and producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
Gas Exchange
Gas Exchange
The movement of oxygen from the lungs into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood into the lungs, to be exhaled.

Study Notes
Respiration
- The human respiratory system is a complex network crucial for gas exchange, enabling respiration.
- Gas exchange involves the uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide.
- Breathing mechanisms facilitate the movement of air in and out of the lungs.
- Respiration is the process of releasing energy from food using oxygen.
- Blood plays a vital role as the transport medium for oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the body's tissues.
Properties of Materials
- Dissolving is the process where one substance mixes uniformly with another to form a solution.
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures.
- Solubility describes the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent.
- Plan experiments to investigate solubility through careful control of variables, clear methodology, and recording of results.
- Paper chromatography separates mixtures based on differing solubilities of compounds in different solvents.
Forces and Energy
- Understanding forces and motion is essential for describing movement and its impact.
- Speed is a measure of the rate of change of position.
- Describing movement involves analysis of displacement, acceleration, and velocity.
- Turning forces, or moments, are crucial for understanding how forces can cause rotational motion in objects.
- Pressure between solids is an important concept from the broader field of forces.
