8. Read the text and find English equivalents to the Russian sentences:
Митохондрии – это склады энергии клетки. Они выдают всю необходимую ей энергию.
При дыхании отбирается энергия, хранящаяся в пище.
Способ, с помощью которого организмы получают энергию для обеспечения жизненных процессов, называется дыханием.
Углекислый газ и вода являются продуктами отходов.
При этом процессе выделяется энергия в виде химического вещества, называемого АТФ.
Respiration
The way in which organisms obtain energy to power their life processes is called respiration, and this takes place in their cells. Respiration takes the energy stored in foods (such as glucose) and changes it into a form that can be used by the cell.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell; they release all the energy it needs. Glucose enters the mitochondria and combines with oxygen. This process gives off energy in the form of a chemical called ATP. Carbon dioxide and water are the waste products.
9. Read the text and find English equivalents to the Russian words:
Происходить, отходы, процесс избавления, скапливаться, выделять, распад, излишний, пища, испражнение.
Excretion
The chemical reactions that take place inside cells produce waste products. Getting rid of these is called excretion. Excretion is necessary because if the waste products were allowed to build up, they would poison and kill the organism. Plants and animals excrete carbon dioxide from respiration. Plants also excrete oxygen, a waste product of photosynthesis, during the day. Animals need to get rid of waste from the breakdown of excess proteins in their diet. Expelling waste matter after digestion is defecation, not excretion.
10. Read the text and answer the questions. Growth
When an organism grows it adds more cells to itself and becomes more complex. Once an organism has grown, it cannot return to its original size. Growth occurs by a process called mitosis, during which the chromosomes in a cell double and divide, and then the cell splits into two. In this way each new cell ends up as an exact replica of the original cell.
What is “mitosis”?
What is growth?
11. Read the text and tell about homeostasis. Maintaining life
For life processes to run smoothly, conditions inside an organism need to stay relatively stable. The process of keeping the internal conditions in a balanced state is called homeostasis.
Examples of homeostasis include keeping water levels balanced, controlling body temperature, and responding to external and internal stimuli.
Organisms have complex systems of checks and mechanisms to enable them to keep their internal state the same all the time.
UNIT 2
Read and translate the text, say what is biome. Where Organisms Live?
Living things are adapted to exist in particular places. The climate (temperature, sunlight, and rainfall) affects the type of vegetation that grows, which in turn determines the animals that live there. An organism is also affected by the soil type, whether the place is on dry land or under water, and the presence of other organisms competing for food and mates. A huge habitat zone, such as an ocean or a desert, is called a biome. Similar biomes can exist on different continents that share the same conditions. Desert biomes, for example, exist in America, Africa, Australia, and Asia.
