Respiration card sort

1 Cut out the cards.

2 Sort them into four piles: statements that apply only to animals, those that apply only to plants,
those that apply to both plants and animals, and those that apply to neither.

I can…
● compare respiration and gaseous exchange in plants and animals.

Name Class Date

1 What gas do animals need for aerobic respiration? Tick () one.

 oxygen  carbon dioxide  nitrogen  water

2 What gas do plants need for aerobic respiration? Tick () one.

 oxygen  carbon dioxide  nitrogen  water

3 What acidic gas do animals produce in aerobic respiration? Tick () one.

 oxygen  carbon dioxide  nitrogen dioxide  water

4 What acidic gas do plants produce in aerobic respiration? Tick () one.

 oxygen  carbon dioxide  nitrogen dioxide  water

5 Where does aerobic respiration occur in animals? Tick () one.

 all cells  only in muscle cells  only in organs  only in the brain

6 What turns from clear to milky when carbon dioxide is added to it? Tick () one.

 acid  hydrogen carbonate  water  limewater

indicator

7 Hydrogen carbonate indicator is pink. It turns yellow if carbon dioxide is added to it and it turns
purple if carbon dioxide is removed. Complete the table below to show the colours of hydrogen
carbonate indicator in each of the tubes.
