What is respiratory system?
The two molecules needed to create energy in the cell
glucose and oxygen
The molecule that is needed for cells to grow and repair
True/False: Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to make water, CO2, and energy.
True
This molecule can create high blood sugar when insulin is not available
What is glucose?
This system breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules
What is digestive system?
two molecules created in the cell when glucose and oxygen make energy
carbon dioxide and water
If someone is eating healthy foods including starch but is NOT taking in healthy amounts of oxygen, would they be able to exercise? Why?
no because the body needs glucose AND oxygen to make energy.
Name the inputs of cellular respiration
Glucose and Oxygen
This molecule comes from fish, meat and eggs
protein
This system transports oxygen, glucose, and amino acids into the cell
What is circulatory system?
The molecule needed to be eaten to create energy
What is starch/glucose?
Who would have more energy to run? Someone who ate starch for breakfast or someone who ate protein?
Starch
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
Water, CO2, and energy.
This molecule is broken down from protein into
When this system is not working properly it can lead to asthma
what is respiratory?

Cells are able to grow and _________ themselves by combining amino acid molecules into larger protein molecules in the cell.
Repair
Oxygen and glucose can go through a _____________ to make different molecules like water, CO2, and energy.
Chemical Reaction
Which two molecules are not broken down, causing health issues, in people living with pancreas injury?
What is protein and starch?
What is amino acid and glucose?
Anemia affects this system by preventing enough oxygen to be carried to the cell
What is Circulatory?
Doctors tested a patient to find out what molecules were in her cells. Her cells contained normal levels of oxygen molecules and low levels of glucose, would this patient be able to exercise?
No her body needs oxygen and glucose to make energy
Why would athletes need to take in more oxygen?
Athletes need to replenish energy more because they use more, and oxygen + glucose makes energy
If someone had diabetes, what would their test results look like in the cells?
Glucose molecules:
Oxygen molecules:
Amino acids:
Glucose molecules: low
Oxygen molecules:normal
Amino acids: normal
