Molecules Needed By Cells
These are the three molecules we have been studying that are delivered to the cells
oxygen, glucose, amino acids
This system delivers molecules to every cell in the body
circulatory
These are the two inputs required for cellular respiration
oxygen & glucose
In diabetes, glucose cannot get into the cells because it is missing this molecule, which is the "key" that lets glucose in.
Insulin
the body's use of molecules for energy and growth
Metabolism
Carbohydrates, which include starch, sugar and fiber, are broken down into this molecule
glucose
This system includes the heart, the blood vessels and the blood
circulatory system
These are the three outputs of cellular respiration
water, carbon dioxide, and energy
A patient with this injury can't break down food molecules because they can't make the correct digestive enzymes
What is pancreas injury?
the name of the special chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
Cellular Respiration
The body's use of molecules for energy and growth is the definition of what word?
metabolism
This system breaks down large food molecules into smaller molecules that can fit into the cells
digestive system
Your body always needs to perform this reaction, even while sleeping
cellular respiration
A patient with asthma would have low levels of this molecule
oxygen
a group of atoms joined together in a particular way
Molecule
Oxygen is delivered to the cells by these two systems
respiratory and circulatory
This system is made of the stomach, small intestine and other organs
Cellular Respiration happens in this part of the cell
mitochondria
A patient with anemia doesn't get enough of this molecule in the cells because they don't have enough red blood cells
oxygen
the ability to make things move or change
Energy
Proteins are broken down by the digestive system to make this molecule
amino acids
This system is made of the lungs and the bronchial tubes
respiratory system
In order to grow and repair itself, the body uses this molecule, which is made by amino acids
proteins
Our Case Study Elisa had this condition, which made her very tired all the time
diabetes
