Molecules
Name 3 molecules needed for the body to function
System that accepts oxygen
What is respiratory system?
The two molecules needed to create energy in the cell
glucose and oxygen
- difficulty breathing
- low oxygen levels
asthma
nucleus
This molecule can create high blood sugar when insulin is not available
glucose
This system is made up of mouth/nose, stomach, and small intestine
two molecules created in the cell when glucose and oxygen make energy
carbon dioxide and water
Guess this condition:
- oxygen levels normal
- amino acid levels low
- glucose levels low
pancreas injury
This organelle is where cellular respiration occurs and is the power house of the cell
mitochondria
This molecule comes from fish
protein or amino acids
This system carries oxygen and glucose into the cell
What is circulatory system?
These molecules are used by cells for growth and repair
proteins or amino acids
Guess this condition:
- high blood sugar
- tired all the time
diabetes
this organelle is the outermost layer of cells
cell membrane
If someone has a panaceas injury, these two molecules are not broken down
protein and starch
If someone has asthma, this is the main body system affected
respiratory system
Explain why you'd want to eat a bunch of starches before playing a game of soccer. Use academic vocabulary
which conditions can be diagnosed by analyzing oxygen levels?
asthma and anemia (order doesn't matter)
This is process needed to release energy in the cells
cellular respiration
1.) oxygen molecules pass through what part in the lungs to get into the bloodstream?
2.) glucose molecules pass through what part of the the small intestine to get into the bloodstream?
1.) alveoli
2.) villi
This system is responsible for sending messages to all parts of your body
nervous system
What sort of food should be eaten after a difficult workout so that cells can grow and repair...
Starch rich foods or protein rich foods? And WHY?
Protein rich foods should be eaten because proteins are broken down into amino acids and those are used by cells for growth and repair.
When the pancreas in injured starch and proteins cannot be broken down. What does the pancreas produce that helps break down food?
digestive enzymes
1.) How do proteins get into the cells?
1.) the body breaks down proteins into amino acids which allows them to be small enough to enter the cell.
