• Stomach

Describe what happens to the balloons (Y) when the rubber sheet (diaphragm) is pulled down.

• They inflate

• They deflate

• Nothing happens

What part of the respiratory system does label C represent?

• Lung

• Trachea

NGSS.MS-PS1-2

A student exhaled air into test tube X. After a while, liquid A turned a cloudy white colour.

Why did liquid A turn cloudy white in test tube X?

• Because oxygen is present in exhaled air

• Because carbon dioxide is present in exhaled air

• Because hydrogen is present in exhaled air

• Because carbon monoxide is present in exhaled air
