Medical conditions
Cells can only use molecules that are ______ enough to enter a cell.
Small. They need to get broken down in the digestive system prior to entering the circulatory system and even more so to enter the cell (measured in micrometers).
A set of interacting parts forming a complex whole is a _________.
System
The place where cellular respiration takes place
Inside the cell, specifically the mitochondria organelle
______ is the ability to make things move or change.
Energy
The body system that takes in food and breaks it down
The digestive system
Molecules needed to increase energy
Glucose and oxygen molecules
A molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
Glucose
The body system that takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide
The respiratory system
Molecules that are the building blocks of proteins
Amino acids
This happens to the metabolism of a person with Asthma
The person has difficulty breathing enough air and acquiribg all the necessary oxygen molecules for their cells to function properly, making them get tired and feel out of breath very easily.
The system that transports molecules to and from all cells of the body
The circulatory system
The chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells
Cellular respiration
This happens to the metabolism of a person with diabetes.
When someone has diabetes, they don't have enough insulin. Your body needs insulin because it unlocks the cell membrane and lets glucose enter the cell. With low levels of insulin, a lot of glucose is stuck in the circulatory system and little glucose is entering the cells. You need glucose in order to get energy through cellular respiration.
The body's use of molecules for energy and growth is the ________.
Metabolism
Amino acids in cells need ________ from mitochondria in order to bond to other amino acid molecules and form proteins.
Energy
