Cellular Respiration
This monomer, along with oxygen, is an input of aerobic cellular respiration.
What is glucose?
What is homeostasis?
This hormone is excreted when blood glucose is high.
What is insulin?
This is the distance (in miles) of a full marathon.
What is 26.2 miles?
This is the amount of sugar (in tablespoons) in one Arizona beverage .
What is 12?
This gas is an output of aerobic cellular respiration.
what is carbon dioxide?
A system that encourages or discourages processes in order to maintain homeostasis in the body.
What is a feedback system/loop/mechanism?
This is the organ that glucagon acts on to release stored glucose.
What is the liver?
Runners often "load up" on this specific food polymer (biomolecule) in preparation for energy for their big races.
what are carbs?
This is the amount of grams of sugar that a single jolly rancher has.
what is 5 grams?
This is the amount of ATP that is generated through the ANAEROBIC cellular respiration process.
what is 2 ATP?
If the pancreases fails to release enough insulin and blood sugar stays high, it causes this disease/disorder.
What is diabetes?
This hormone helps raise blood sugar levels when they are too low.
What is glucagon?
This is placed on a runner (typically pinned to their shirt) to show their runner # during the race.
What is a bib?
This country is both a country and a continent.
What is Australia?
This is the type of cellular respiration that takes longer but is more efficient (creates 36 ATP per one glucose)
What is aerobic cellular respiration?
What is the liver?
Both insulin and glucagon are produced in this organ.
What is the pancreas?
This is the name of a world-famous marathon held in Massachusetts.
What is the Boston Marathon?
This is the gas that plants absorb during photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide?
This is a waste product that is an output of anaerobic cellular respiration and is associated with muscle fatigue and burning.
What is lactic acid?
If a long-distance cyclist rides for hours without eating, this stored (in the liver) molecule becomes the source of glucose.
What is glycogen?
These two hormones have the OPPOSITE effects on blood sugar. One helps lower the blood sugar, one helps increase blood sugar by releasing store glycogen.
What is insulin and glucagon?
These "feel good" hormones causes the "runner's high" (a happy, euphoric feeling that makes SOME people LOVE running)
What are endorphins?
This is the height of Mrs. Felchlin
What is 5'3"?
