Body Systems
A complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that coordinates and controls bodily functions, such as responding to stimuli.
What is the nervous system?
Candy, pasta, and bread are examples of this type of biomolecule.
What are carbohydrates?
This organ is responsible for absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream.
What is the small intestine?
The primary function of cellular respiration.
What is deriving energy from glucose reacting with oxygen?
The pair of organs responsible for filtering waste out of the blood.
What are the kidneys?
A network of organs in the body that allows for breathing, primarily by taking in oxygen from the air and releasing carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
This biomolecules provides short-term (immediate) energy to your cells.
What is a carbohydrate?
This organ is the main location of chemical digestion.
What is the stomach?
During cellular respiration, this gas is produced from the chemical reaction.
What is carbon dioxide?
These are sponge-like air sacs in the lungs that assist in gas exchanges.
What are alveoli?
This body system provides structural support for the body and protects organs like the brain and heart.
Examples of this nutrient include meat, dairy, eggs, and some nuts.
What are proteins?
Found in plants, vegetables, and whole grains, this indigestible substance passes through the digestive system without being broken down and absorbed.
What is fiber?
True or false: The rate of cellular respiration is dependent on the activity level of the individual.
What is true?
True of False: In an open system, the mass of animal fat will remain unchanged before and after burning.
What is false?
A network of tissues and organs that work together to enable movement, maintain posture, and regulate bodily functions.
What is the muscular system?
This is your body's energy storage nutrient.
What are fats (lipids)?
Proteins that speed up metabolism or chemical reactions in the body.
What are enzymes?
Air is a mixture of various gasses, such as oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen makes up 21% of air, and Hydrogen is less than 1% of air. 78% of air is composed of this gas.
What is Nitrogen?
The enzyme in saliva that begins to digest food in the mouth.
What is Amylase?
The body system that is a network of blood vessels and the heart that moves blood throughout the body.
What is the circulatory system?
The chemical formula for glucose molecules.
The finger-like structures lining the walls of the small intestine and assist in nutrient absorption.
What are villi?
This blood vessel brings oxygen-poor (deoxygenated ) blood back toward the heart.
What is a vein?
A hormone produced in the Pancreas that regulates glucose (sugar) levels in the blood.
What is insulin?
