Science 12 - Biology: 2. Plants and animals transport dissolved nutrients and gases in a fluid medium

Students learn to: 

• identify the form(s) in which each of the following is carried in mammalian blood: – carbon dioxide – oxygen – water – salts – lipids – nitrogenous waste – other products of digestion
• explain the adaptive advantage of haemoglobin 
• compare the structure of arteries, capillaries and veins in relation to their function 
• describe the main changes in the chemical composition of the blood as it moves around the body and identify tissues in which these changes occur  outline the need for oxygen in living cells and explain why removal of carbon dioxide from cells is essential 
• describe current theories about processes responsible for the movement of materials through plants in xylem and phloem tissue

• Principles of Pulse Oximetry Technology

  From Oximetry.org
• Transfusion Therapy Overview

  From Healthline.
• Vascular Tissue: Xylem and Phloem

  From Boundless Biology.
