Powerhouse of the cell.

What is the Mitochondria 

100

Which system allows the body to obtain oxygen?

Respiratory system 

100

True or False: When a chemical reaction is happening, the molecule gives off a cold temperature close to freezing.  

If false - correct it.  

False: 

it gives off heat rather than cold.

When you have trouble breathing due to the tightening of the airways. 

Asthma 

200

Molecule you get from Air 

Oxygen 

200

Which system deals with glucose and Amino Acids 

Digestive System 

200

True or False: Cellular Respiration gives off the following: Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Waste.  

If False - correct it.  

False

Energy not Waste

200

When the body has trouble breaking glucose from starch and sugars.  

Diabetes 

300

Molecule you get from foods like meat and fish. 

Amino Acids

What system transports cells to around the body?

Circulatory System

What is Blood Doping?

When an athlete takes some of their blood out of their system, freezes it, then places it back into their system in order to gain a energy boost on the day of competition.

This disease causes trouble in the digestive system that doesn't breakdown the food into smaller molecules that the body needs.  

Injury to the Pancreas. 
400

Molecules you get from Starch, like potatoes and breads 

Glucose 

400

Describe the journey Oxygen molecules take

Oxygen first comes through the respiratory system, then moves through the body in the circulatory system where it meets with glucose in our cells to give us energy.

Mrs. Sparks is having trouble concentrating in class.  She feels really tired and seems to be crankier than she normally is.  

What might be wrong with Mrs. Sparks?

She may have skipped breakfast, not getting the glucose that she needs.  Or her glucose and oxygen are not combining as they should.  

She should have a snickers bar.

How does having a disease like Diabetes affect your energy?

There isn't enough glucose to enter the cell which then can not react with oxygen to give the cell the energy it needs. 

500

What is the chemical reaction called between glucose and Oxygen 

Cellular Respiration 

500

Describe the journey Glucose molecules take to get to the cell.

Food first goes to the digestive system, which then breaks it up into smaller molecules.  Glucose then moves into the circulatory system, which then enters the cells.

Peter Parker arrives at the hospital with a severe case of low energy.  He is very lethargic.  When running tests, doctors noticed he had a high level of hemoglobin in his system, but low levels of glucose.  He also came in complaining about chest pains.  


What is wrong with Peter Parker?

Peter Parker used blood doping to help boost his energy to fight the Green Goblin.

Cheryl has Anemia.  How would her disease effect her ability to have energy?

With Anemia it affects the circulatory system.  She has the red blood cells but it's not getting to where it needs to in a timely fashion.  This would make her tired.
