Waste Removal

EPISD Middle School Science Standards Based Curriculum 2013-2014

Methods of Waste Removal
Cellular Respiration- the process by
which cells turn food into energy

Body systems specific functions of
some body systems help get rid of waste
in our bodies.

Cellular Respiration

Cells need fuel for energy.

Sugar is the most common fuel cells use,
although cells also use protein,
other carbohydrates, and
some other sources, as well.

Cellular Respiration
Oxygen is an element that is involved in the
process of turning fuel into energy.

Cells use oxygen during cellular respiration

MITOCHONDRIA carry out
Cellular Respiration

Use the Cells Alive! link to find
mitochondria in an animal cell:

Mitochondria are the
powerhouse of the cell and
process fuel into energy

MITOCHONDRIA carry out
Cellular Respiration

Mitochondria process oxygen and sugar
to turn fuel into energy for the cells

Carbon dioxide (CO
2
)
is the waste product.

Circulatory system
Our circulatory system helps remove
waste products from bodies by
transporting them to other systems.

Those other systems
release the waste products
from our bodies.

Respiratory system
Our respiratory systems take in oxygen so
that our cells can survive

The circulatory system transports oxygen
from our lungs to the rest of our bodies

What is the waste product is
brought back to the lungs and
released from our bodies
by the respiratory system?

Carbon dioxide is the waste product
removed by the respiratory system

Digestive system
Our digestive system helps turn food into
energy for our bodies.

What body system helps
remove waste produced
by the digestive system?

Our EXCRETORY system
helps release the waste
from our bodies

Other body system?
Can you think of another body system
that helps remove waste??
