    Study Notes

    Respiratory System

    • The main function of the respiratory system is to bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide.

    Cell Biology

    • Vacuoles are the cell components that store water, salts, carbohydrates, and proteins.

    Muscular System

    • When the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, the chest cavity volume decreases, and the lungs deflate.

    Circulatory System

    • One characteristic of veins is that they have one-way valves that prevent backflow of blood.
    • The function of the circulatory system is to transport oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste products.

    Diffusion

    • In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell than inside, causing water to leave the cell.
    • During dynamic equilibrium in the process of diffusion across a membrane, the rate of solute movement into the cell equals the rate of solute movement out of the cell.

    Plant Cells

    • Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for the process of photosynthesis in plant cells.

    Endoplasmic Reticulum

    • The main function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a cell is to synthesize and transport proteins.

    Cell Comparison

    • Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, whereas animal cells do not have these features.
