Cellular Respiration
The gas we use for cellular respiration
The organ that pumps blood
Alveoli are the air sacs found inside these major organs of your respiratory system
Lungs
The first source of glucose comes from our
Food
Jimbo said his glucose level is 110. What is missing from this data?
units
The organelle where cellular respiration takes places
Mitochondria
These blood vessels bring oxygenated blood to the body's cells
Arteries
True or false- the respiratory system is the main location where cellular respiration takes place
FALSE- cellular respiration takes place in all of your body's cells
The hormone that lowers blood glucose
Insulin
A ____ graph is used to compare different categories
bar
A "waste product" of cellular respiration
carbon dioxide and/or water vapor
Veins
In the lungs, oxygen and carbon dioxide are swapped out for one another during this process
Without insulin, glucose would not be able to _________
enter your cells/ leave the blood/ be used to generate ATP
________ can be used as a visual representation of how different processes function within a system such as the human body
Models
We breathe faster during exercise because our cells need to generate more _____ (specific molecule name)
ATP
Alveoli and villi are connected to your circulatory system through very small blood vessels called
Capillaries
Once you've inhaled oxygen, it then must enter your _______ system in order for your body cells to use it.
circulatory
Glucose and ATP are 2 types of _____________ molecules
Energy
Our bodies maintain homeostasis by using various systems of interacting stimuli and responses, also known as
Feedback mechanisms / loops
Respiration that occurs without oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
This component of your blood directly carries oxygen to your body's cells
Red blood cells
2 gases you exhale due to the process of cellular respiration having taken place.
You still need glucose when you sleep or haven't eaten for a while. In these cases, your body will use this molecule in order to restore your glucose levels
glucagon
When conducting an experiment, we manipulate one factor, also called the __________, in order to observe the effect, also known as __________.
independent variable, dependent variable
