Cellular Respiration Definition: The reaction between oxygen and nutrients that the cell uses to extract the energy it needs. Location: Inside the cells’ mitochondria Equation: Nutrients + oxygen = energy + carbon dioxide + water
Respiratory System: Answer the following questions (p 173) Name the two parts of the respiratory system. List the parts of the Respiratory tract.

Gas Exchange within the Lungs Write the following concepts in your notebook: Diffusion: Substances will move from an area where they are at a high concentration to an area where they are at a lower concentration. Substances will move from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure As pressure INCREASES concentration INCREASES. As volume INCREASES concentration DECREASES.
