mouth; esophagus; stomach; small intestines; bloodstream
The main goal of cellular respiration is to get ___________________ for the cells.
energy
When you see the arrow symbol in a scientific equation, it stands for a _______________________.
chemical reaction
The inputs of cellular respiration are _________________ and _____________________.
glucose; oxygen
The outputs of cellular respiration are __________________, ____________________, and ________________________.
energy, carbon dioxide, and water

nose or mouth; lungs; bloodstream
Cellular respiration happens in the _____________________ of the cell.
mitochondria
True or False: Almost all living things use cellular respiration to get energy.
True
The ____________________system is involved in breaking the food down.
digestive
The ____________________ system helps remove excess liquid wasted.
excretory
A pattern we noticed about the cereals was they were all ___________.
The cereals did not all have the same amount of ____________________.
Cereals with higher amounts of ____________________ tended to ________________ because ____________________________________.
A pattern we noticed about the cereals was they were all carbohydrates.
The cereals did not all have the same amount of sugar.
Cereals with higher amounts of sugar tended to
inflate the bag more because sugar is an input. Increasing the input will lead to great outputs, such as energy and carbon dioxide.
We eat food in order to get ________________, which is converted to _________________.
glucose; energy
The macronutrient, which is known for being high in glucose is ______________________.
carbohydrates
The ____________________ system helps get the oxygen into our body.
respiratory
The __________________system helps get the carbon dioxide out of our bodies when we exhale.
respiratory
Athletes may increase their carbohydrate intake ahead of a major race or event because ________________________________________
Athletes may increase their carbohydrate intake ahead of a major race or event because carbohydrates are high in glucose. When the glucose is broken down it will release energy. More glucose, as an input means greater outputs, such as energy.
We focused more on a type of cellular respiration that involves oxygen. We did learn about a type of cellular respiration that happens when oxygen is not available, which is called ________________________.
fermentation
We learned about 3 macronutrients. The 3 macronutrients are ________________, __________________, and __________________.
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
The ____________________ systems helps transport glucose and oxygen to the cells.
circulatory
The ____________________, _____________________, and ________________________ help remove waste products from the body.
