This is Ms. Stypeck's first name.
What is Sophie?

The molecule we get from the bread in a sandwich BEFORE it gets broken down in the digestive system.
What is starch?
200
This is the system that protein and starch enter BEFORE the circulatory system.
What is the digestive system?
200
These two molecules are needed for cellular respiration to happen.
What are oxygen and glucose?

These are Ms. Stypeck's cat's names.
What are Bert and Tibbs?
300
The molecule that protein breaks down into.
What are amino acids?
300

The state Ms. Stypeck grew up.
What is Maryland?
400
This is where the circulatory system transports molecules.
What are the body's cells?
400
WHY the digestive system needs to break down molecules such as starch before they are transported to the circulatory system.
What is the size of molecules?

Ms. Goodell is preparing for a big race this afternoon. She makes sure to have a lunch that is high in protein.
Will this lunch effectively increase Ms. Goodell's ability to produce energy? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.
No. Protein is helpful for cellular growth and repair, but it will not impact Ms. Goodell's ability to produce energy.
Instead, she needs glucose from food and oxygen from air to produce energy.

Abdullah usually plays soccer at sea level, because he lives in Seattle. But on Saturday, his team is playing the MLS team Colorado Rapids, in Colorado. Colorado is at a much higher altitude than Seattle.
Will Abdullah have MORE ENERGY or LESS ENERGY during the game?
Abdullah will have less energy.
Explanation: There is LESS oxygen at high altitudes, so less oxygen would be able to get to his cells. Therefore, his cells will do LESS cellular respiration, so he will have LESS energy.

This is why a person with a issue in their digestive system, might not be able to produce enough energy for exercise.
What is if the digestive system can't break down starch into glucose, then the person will not have enough glucose to conduct cellular respiration in their cells. Cellular respiration is what produces energy.

Dr. Walker tested a patient and found the following:
Oxygen levels: normal
Glucose: normal
Protein: low
Starch: none
Will this patient be able to create energy normally?
Yes. The cells need glucose and oxygen to produce energy.
