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
Evidence Card H states that high-altitude training increases RBC for 10-20 days after stopping. Card M states that on race day, JJ had 11% higher hemoglobin than a week ago. This likely means that...
He blood doped before the race because the hemoglobin levels INCREASED by 11% over the course of a week. He returned from training at a high altitude 12 days ago. The levels would last for 10-20 days, but would not increase so drastically.
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
When in dangerous conditions, the tardigrade is able to nearly shut down its metabolism (0.01%) to survive in this special state known as...
Tun state
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)
A blue whale has two special adaptations. It can hold its breath for up to....
And what does it do with its circulatory system when diving?
20 minutes
And slows down heart rate and decreases blood flow to certain body parts, such as digestive.
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
2.) How do animals get glucose?
1.) photosynthesis
2.) eating/drinking starch
