i Fill in the blanks:
1 Breathed air contains more carbon dioxide and less oxygen than unbreathed air.
2 Gaseous exchange
occurs continuously between our body and the environment, through which animals
(and plants) take in oxygen from air and release carbon dioxide to the environment.
3 In humans, gaseous exchange occurs
inside the lungs.
4 During daytime, green
plants consume carbon
dioxide and produce oxygen in photosynthesis. In other words, green plants carry
out photosynthesis at a faster rate than
respiration.
Amount
of oxygen produced in photosynthesis more than Amount6 of oxygen absorbed in respiration
Therefore, it has a net release of carbon dioxide.
Amount of carbon dioxide absorbed for
photosynthesis more than amount of carbon dioxide produced in respiration
Therefore, it has a net uptake of
carbon dioxide
5 At night, photosynthesis stops but respiration goes
on in green plants. Therefore, they have net uptake of oxygen and release of
carbon dioxide.
6 The
contents of oxygen and carbon dioxide in nature are kept more or less constant. This is known as the balance of oxygen and carbon
dioxide in nature.
7 Greenhouse effect is the phenomenon that
carbon dioxide (and some other gases) in
the atmosphere traps some of the heat
from the Sun and keeps the Earth warm.
8 The increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
lead to an excessive greenhouse effect
and hence global
warming.
