Molecules in the body
Name 3 molecules needed for the body to function
System that accepts oxygen
What is respiratory system?
The two molecules needed to create energy in the cell
glucose and oxygen
glucose and oxygen
Oxygen enters the body through
mouth/nose
This molecule can create high blood sugar when insulin is not available
What is glucose?
This system is made up of mouth/nose, stomach, and small intestine
two molecules created in the cell when glucose and oxygen make energy
carbon dioxide and water
If someone is eating healthy foods including starch, is NOT taking in healthy amounts of oxygen, would they be able to exercise?
no
starch enters through
mouth
This molecule comes from fish
protein
This system carries oxygen and glucose into the cell
What is circulatory system?
The molecule needed to be eaten to create energy
What is glucose?
Who would have more energy to run? Someone who ate starch for breakfast or someone who are protein?
Starch
Are these results normal for the small intestine? explain why
glucose molecules: normal
oxygen: none
starch: normal
Yes, because oxygen does not go through digestive system
This molecule is broken down from protein into
When this system is not working properly it can lead to asthma
what is respiratory?
Which food will provide the molecules needed to create energy in the cells? A.) Rice, which is made of starch. B.) Steak, which is made of protein.
A.) Rice
reason an athletes takes in more oxygen in their cells
to produce more energy for exercise
Can glucose enter the digestive system through the mouth?
yes
These two molecules are not broken down causing health issues in people living with pancreas injury
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, would this patient be able to exercise?
No, her body needs oxygen and glucose to make energy.
It would be harder to exercise in a _________ altitude because____________
higher, because there is less oxygen
If someone had diabetes, what would their test results look like in the circulatory system?
Glucose molecules:
Oxygen molecules:
Starch molecules:
Glucose molecules:high
Oxygen molecules:normal
Starch molecules:normal
