Molecules in the body
These 3 molecules are needed for the body to function.
What are oxygen, glucose, and amino acids?
This body system inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
The two molecules needed to create energy in the cells.
What are glucose and oxygen?
The molecule that is needed for cells to grow and repair
Amino Acid/Protein
Cellular Respiration can only occur when these two molecules enter the cell.
What are oxygen and glucose?
This molecule is found in foods such as pasta, bread, and rice.
What is starch or glucose?
This system breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules.
What is digestive system?
These two molecules are created in the cell when glucose and oxygen make energy.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
If someone is eating healthy foods including starch but is NOT taking in healthy amounts of oxygen they would not be able to do this.
What is exercise?
This organelle in the cell is where respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
This molecule comes from fish, meat and eggs
What is protein or amino acid?
This system delivers oxygen, glucose, and amino acids to the cells.
What is circulatory system?
This molecule needs to be eaten in order to create energy.
What is starch or glucose?
A person who wants to exercise in the morning should eat a breakfast high in this?
What is starch?
These are the 3 outputs of cellular respiration.
What are water, carbon dioxide, and energy.
When a person has asthma there is less of this molecule in the body.
What is oxygen?
When this system is not working properly it can lead to anemia.
What is the circulatory system?
An increase in respiration (breathing) during exercise will help bring in more of this molecule which is needed for cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
Cells are able to grow and do this by combining amino acid molecules into larger protein molecules in the cell.
What is cellular repair?
This happens when molecules interact and rearrange to become something new.
What is a chemical reaction?
In people living with a pancreas injury, these two molecules are not broken down properly into smaller molecules.
What are protein and starch?
Diabetes affects this system by flooding the blood with glucose that is not able to enter the cells.
What is the circulatory system?
Doctors tested a patient with this complaint. Her cells contained normal levels of oxygen molecules and low levels of glucose.
What is being tired or exhausted (having little to no energy)?
Athletes need to take in more starch and this in order to preform well.
What is oxygen?
Test results from a patient with this condition
Glucose molecules: low
Oxygen molecules:normal
Amino acids: normal
What is diabetes?
