Cellular Respiration
Which two molecules react inside of the mitochondria to create cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
Protein is a molecule used by the cells. What can protein be broken down into?
amino acids
What is a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole?
A system
Which scale is used to measure the hardness of minerals?
The Mohs Scale
How many legs does a spider have?
eight
What type of reaction occurs inside of the mitochondria?
Chemical Reaction
What do our cells use protein for?
Growth and Repair
Which body system contains the small intestine?
Digestive System
The Pacific Ocean
What causes the Earths tides through gravitational pull?
The Moon
After cellular respiration takes place, three new products are created. Name all three
Carbon Dioxide (co2)
Water (h20)
Energy
Why does protein need to break down in the digestive system just to be rebuilt again once it is inside of the cell?
Which system is responsible for transporting molecules and contains the heart?
Circulatory System
About 200 million years ago, Earth was one massive continent, there were separate continents. What was the name of this gigantic continent?
Pangea
There are three planets that are smaller than Earth. Name TWO out of the three
Mercury - Venus - Mars
Blood Doping increases someone's red blood cells which will allow more molecules to enter the cell quicker. This will allow cellular respiration to occur more often.
Why is Blood Doping dangerous, how can it lead to heart failure in extreme cases?
What does the pancreas do inside of the digestive system?
Pancreas creates digestive enzymes that help break down food molecules
What was the dangerous confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States during the cold war? This was the moment when the two super powers came closest to nuclear conflict?
The Cuban Missile Crisis
Explain the difference between evaporation and condensation
Evaporation = liquid turning into gas
Condensation is gas turning into liquid
Explain why diabetes can cause cellular respiration to occur far less often
When someone has diabetes, glucose cannot enter their cells. Without glucose, cellular respiration can no longer occur
Explain why having an injury to the pancreas can prevent cellular respiration from happening?
An injury to the pancreas means your body is not creating the digestive enzymes that it needs. Without digestive enzymes, your body cannot break down molecules so that they can fit into the cells.
Which body system is affected the most when a person has anemia?
Circulatory system (lack of red blood cells)
Which US President gave the famous speech on Dec 7th 1941 that started with " Yesterday, Dec 7th, 1941, a day which will live in infamy"?
Franklin D. Roosevelt
What device do scientists use to measure the strength of earthquakes?
A richter scale
