100

This is the purpose of cellular respiration. 

Create and release energy to the body.

100

The system that is responsible for taking in oxygen for our cells. 

Respiratory system.

100

Starch breaks down into this nutrient molecule.

Glucose.

100

This body system takes in oxygen

Respiratory System

100

A condition where the blood has a low number of red blood cells, reducing oxygen delivery.

Anemia

200

This is where cellular respiration takes place within the cells of the body.

Mitochondira.


200

This system transports glucose, oxygen, and amino acids to the cells. 

Circulatory System
200

Protein breaks down into this repairing molecule.

Amino Acids

200

This is the name of the overall process that includes digestion, respiration, and cellular respiration to provide the oxygen and nutrients cells need.

Metabolism.

200

Difficulty breathing, wheezing, and reduced oxygen intake.

Asthma

300

These molecules are required for cellular respiration. 

Glucose and oxygen.

300

In order, what are the parts of the digestive system.

Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine.

300

This structure is located inside the small intestine where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place. 

Villi

300
The building blocks of proteins

Amino acids.

300

Causes a disruption of the regulation of glucose in the blood.

Diabetes

400

These are the products of cellular respiration. 

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

400
This system includes the heart and all the blood vessels, and is responsible for "pumping" the blood that runs through the circulatory system.

Cardiovascular system

400
This molecule is small enough to enter our cells without the need for another system to break it down.

Oxygen.

400
A group of atoms joined together in a particular way to perform a certain function in the body.

Molecule.

400

Insulin production decreases, affecting glucose regulation and not enough other enzymes are produced to break down starch. 

Injury to the pancreas.

500

Will this patient be able to exercise normally? Why or why not?

Amino Acid: Normal

Oxygen: Normal

Glucose: Low

Glucose is needed to combine with oxygen to create energy.

500

What specific part of the circulatory system is responsible for carrying oxygen to our cells. 

Red blood cells.
500

Axel has a problem with his circulatory system. How will this affect his ability to release energy?

The circulatory system transports molecules to the cell. If glucose and oxygen aren't able to make it to the cell, they won't combine to release energy.

500

The powerhouse of the cell.

Mitochondria 

500

The molecule responsible for allowing glucose to enter the cell.

Insulin.
