Plants
Multicellular
Carry out photosynthesis
Examples: corn (maize), beans and peas
Animals
Multicellular
Do not carry out photosynthesis
Animals
What are the two main types?
Invertebrates: no backbone
– insects, worms, starfish
Vertebrates: Backbone
– fish, frogs, reptiles,
birds and mammals
Fungi
Some are multicellular
Some are unicellular (one celled)
Never have chloroplasts
– cannot photosynthesise
Protoctists
Organisms that don't fit into the plant,
animal or fungus kingdoms.
Some are unicellular, some are multicellular
Examples: Amoeba, algae
Bacteria
Unicellular
Most are much smaller and
simpler than the cells of plants,
animals, or protoctist.
viruses
All are parasites: can only reproduce
inside a living cell.
Much smaller than bacterial cells.
viruses
Very simple structure:
DNA or RNA inside a protein shell.
Do not feed, excrete, respire, move,
grow or respond.
Do reproduce by taking over the cells
of a larger organism.
Pathogen Disease causing organism or virus.
_________:
May be fungi, bacteria, protoctist or virsuses

process that releases energy
respiration
from foods.

???
The inner trachea is covered with a
mucus
thin layer of __________,
What does this do?
It traps dirt and bacteria.

cilia
Some cells inside the trachea have _________,
small hair-like structures.
sweep back and forth,
The cilia _______________
moving
the mucus towards the mouth.
_____________________________.
This prevents the dirt and bacteria
from entering the lungs.

Smoking ________________
the cilia.
What two gases are exchanged
in the alveoli?
oxygen and carbon dioxide
This means the lungs are removing
carbon dioxide
__________________
from the blood and
absorbing _______________
into the blood.
oxygen
__emphysema__
__??????__
Smoking damages
the walls of the alveoli
alveoli,
which break down
and join together.
What is the highly addictive drug
in cigarette smoke?
nicotine
carbon monoxide
Cigarette smoke contains __________________
which bonds with your blood more
strongly than oxygen. This stops oxygen
from entering your blood.
Chapter 3
Cigarette smoke contains
hundreds of chemicals,
at least 17 are known to cause
cancer
or increase your risk for __________.
What nation has the largest number of
smoking-related deaths in the world?
China
Because of a sharp increase in cigarette sales
in the last 30 years, around 2,000 people a day
are currently dying of smoking in China.
