After breathing in oxygen, oxygen gets picked up by _____.
What are red blood cells (rbc).
Emily just ate bread that contained starch and decided to bike. What is causing her to gain energy?
What is cellular respiration?
The part of your body that stores glucose.
What is the glucose storage?

What is carbon dioxide.
June decides that if she goes on a diet and eats protein every day, she is able to gain enough energy. Is she correct? Why or why not?
No because protein creates amino acids which help with building your muscles but, glucose and oxygen are what you need to gain energy.
The part of your body that molecules enter after getting broken down by the stomach.
What is a Circulatory System?
The molecule that protein breaks down to.
What are amino acids.
ATP stands for ___.
What is Adenosine triphosphate.
Elizabeth feels sick and when she goes to the doctor, the doctor tells her that she has a low glucose level that is causing her to feel tired. What is going on?
Elizabeth likely has diabetes because when you have diabetes, you make less insulin. Insulin acts like a key to allow glucose into your cells. Since glucose + oxygen = energy, we can infer that she has diabetes.
