Molecules
Match the molecule with the Body system: Respiratory System
Oxygen
Which body system does CR take place in
Cells in the Body
Name the two most important molecules needed for CR
Oxygen and Glucose
Define Metabolism
Body's use for molecules for energy and growth
Scenario: I'm feeling sleepy. My blood level show high amounts of Glucose but my cells aren't getting what they need. What's wrong with me?
I have diabetes
Match the molecule with the body system: Digestive System
Starch/Protein/Glucose/Amino Acid/Fiber
Which body system transports oxygen to the body?
Circulatory System
What molecules are released after the chemical reaction between Glucose and Oxygen
Water + Carbon Dioxide
Define Energy
The ability to make things move or change
Scenario: My chest is feeling tight and my oxygen levels in my respiratory system are low. What's wrong with me?
I have Asthma
Define Oxygen
Which body system is responsible for breaking down food so it gets to cells in the body?
Digestive System
Where does CR occur (Be specific)
Mitochondria
Define Glucose
A molecule that organisms use to release energy.
Scenario: I'm feeling sleepy. I'm breathing fine but my oxygen levels are low in my Cells. What's wrong with me?
I have Anemia
Where do we get amino acids from
The digestive system: Protein broken down
Which body system is responsible for transporting oxygen to the lungs?
Respiratory System
How does Cellular respiration benefit the human body?
It helps us release energy for our bodies to function properly (survive)
Define Circulatory System
The body system that transports molecules to and from cells in the body
Scenario: I'm feeling sleepy. I've been eating lots of starch but still can't seem to get energy. What is wrong with me?
I have a pancreas injury?
Where do we get glucose from?
Digestive system: starch broken down
Give a detailed explanation of the path Starch takes to get to Cells in the Body (start at the mouth)
Starch goes to the stomach -> small intestine breaks down into Glucose -> ciirculatory system (blood vessels) -> Cells in the Body
Scenario: Ms. Ingram is a basketball star in the height of her career. She was asked to play in Bolivia (a location with HIGH altitude). She ate a starch filled lunch before the game. Will Ms. Ingram perform well in the basketball game? Explain why or why not
No, Ms. Ingram won't be able to play well because her oxygen levels will be lower at high altitude. Lower oxygen levels mean less cellular respiration. She won't be releasing enough energy to perform well
Define Cellular Respiration
The chemical reaction between oxygen + glucose that releases energy into the cells
Name the three openings in the body that allows molecules to pass through them
Alveoli, Villi, Cell membrane
