Respiratory
Across
- 3. The outermost layer of plant tissue that contains stomata.
- 6. Small openings on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gas exchange.
- 7. Openings on the surface of the body of terrestrial arthropods that allow for gas exchange.
- 8. A dome-shaped muscle that aids in the process of breathing.
- 9. The movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- 11. Respiratory organs in terrestrial vertebrates that facilitate gas exchange.
- 12. Respiratory organs in fish that extract oxygen from water and release carbon dioxide.
Down
- 1. A protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and transports it in the blood.
- 2. Tiny air tubes in insects that transport gases to different parts of the body.
- 4. The process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into oxygen and glucose.
- 5. Tiny air sacs in mammalian lungs where gas exchange occurs.
- 10. A gas necessary for cellular respiration and energy production.
