Five Major Body Systems
It converts the foods we eat into energy that fuel the body.
What is the Digestive System?
The molecules the body needs to exercise.
What are glucose and oxygen?
A tiny particle that makes up all things and is the building block of chemistry.
What is an Atom?
Doctors tested a patient to find out what molecules were in her cells. Her cells contained normal levels of oxygen molecules and low levels of glucose. This patient has enough energy to exercise. True or False.
What is False? Her body needs both normal levels of oxygen molecules and normal levels of glucose.
Glucose, oxygen and amino acids.
What are the 3 molecules needed for the body to function?
The system that is made up of bones that give structure to the human body.
What is the Skeletal System?
Someone eating healthy foods including starch, but they are not taking in healthy amounts of oxygen will be able to exercise. True or False.
What is False? You need to eat healthy and take in healthy amounts of oxygen to exercise.
A group of 2 or more atoms that are joined together in a particular way. Example: 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen react and form a molecule of water (H2O).
What is a Molecule?
Which meal provides the molecules needed to create energy in the cells: Rice made of starch OR Steak made of protein.
What is Rice?
This molecule can create high blood sugar when insulin is NOT available.
What is glucose?
When this system is not working properly it can lead to asthma.
What is the Respiratory System?
A person who ate starch for breakfast would have more energy than someone who ate protein for breakfast. True or False.
What is True?
A process by which 2 or more molecules (chemicals) are changed to form into new products (chemicals). Example: By combining 2 atoms of hydrogen with 1 atom of oxygen, you form a new product called water.
What is a Chemical Reaction?
The two molecules created in the cell when glucose and oxygen make energy.
What are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)?
This molecule comes from fish.
What is protein?
The system that carries oxygen and glucose into the cell.
What is the Circulatory System?
A reason why athletes take in more oxygen in their cells.
What is to produce more energy for exercise?
A proposed answer to a question about the natural world.
What is a Claim?
The Circulatory System carries oxygen, nutrients and hormones to cells, and removes what waste products.
What is carbon dioxide?
These molecules are combined to form protein and sometimes known as building blocks.
What are amino acids?
Anemia affects this system by preventing enough oxygen to be carried to the cell.
What is Respiratory?
It would be harder to exercise in higher altitudes because there is less oxygen. True or False.
What is True?
A claim supported by evidence.
What is a Scientific Argument?
Starch provides more energy than protein during exercise because ...
Why the body breaks down a carbohydrate like starch into glucose much faster than the body breaks down a protein?
These two molecules are not broken down causing health issues in people living with pancreas injury.
What is protein and starch?
