10. How do animals get rid of the carbon dioxide? ______________________________ What body system is involved

with removing this waste? __________________________

Also in the process of cellular respiration, oxygen gas is required to serve as an acceptor of electrons. This oxygen is

identical to the oxygen gas given off during photosynthesis.

LANTS

Humans need plants. All animals do. Humanity's relationship with plants has actually made it possible for us to have a

civilization. Before we had cities, humans went around in little packs and were hunter-gatherers. We ate

rats, birds, berries, and whatever food we could find. It wasn't very efficient. One day someone had the

bright idea to plant the plants we like to eat. When humans did that, they were able to stay in one place

full time. Then came the cities and a huge system of agriculture to support millions of people.

ARMING

As time has passed, we have taken farming to new levels. We have manipulated species to create big apples and large ears of

corn. The plants would never have done it in the wild. It took man to change the plants. We are also moving toward the

genetic alteration of plants. We're trying to make plants that are resistant to disease and bugs. These stronger plants will

allow our crops to give us more food from the same amount of space.

1. Genetic alteration probably refers to altering what…. _____________________________ (found in the nucleus)
