METABOLISM FINAL

In order to be healthy, doctors can test patients for what?

• a patients breathing, and food intake,  to be sure they are getting the correct amount of molecules they need from food and air into their cells for metabolism.

• A patients calcium which builds strong bones and converts amino acids to protiens

• a patients sleep patterns all you need is sleep to be healthy

• A patients Nitrogen intake o be sure they are getting enough nitrogen to their cells

What if you ate something that was made mostly of an already broken down molecule? Would your body systems that are used for metabolism need to work as hard?

• No, it will take less energy to break down oxygen molecules, since they are so large to begin with.

• Yes, the circulatory system would need to work harder to transport small molecules .

• No, if molecules such as glucose are already broken down, less energy will be required.

In order to be healthy, all systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory), cells, proper food intake, breathing, molecules (glucose, amino acids, oxygen, need to be working properly. True or False?

• True

• False

If one of your metabolism body systems was not functioning properly, such as your digestive system, what could be the outcome?

• Your circulatory system would be working, so molecule delivery would be functioning, but carrying less molecules

• Your cells would not get the needed molecules from food

• Your respiratory system would be working so oxygen would be present in the cells

• 
  If one system such as your brain or heart goes down, all systems are affected or even death

The test report shows the levels of molecules in a patients body. What does the test indicate about what is going on in the patients body?

• 
  The patient is healthy

• The patients digestive system is not combining molecules together properly

• The patients digestive system is not breaking down oxygen from air

• The patient is extremely gasy

Two teams had a contest to see who could run in place for longer . The one group called the Goats ate breakfast sandwiches for breakfast and lived at normal sea level. The other group called the Slugs ate lots of candy before their contest time, they lived on top of a mountain and they also breathed in lots of smoke from their late night campfire. Which group would you bet on, if it were legal for you to do so, as the winner of the jog in place contest?

• 
  The Goats did better because they got more sleep, and sleep is the only thing important for health

• The Slugs candy will break down into proteins and their low levels of oxygen will make the cells metabolism work well for exercise

• The Goats did better because they had access to normal oxygen levels and a starchy/protein breakfast food which breaks down to glucose / amino acids. Therefore, all needed things for cells to metabolize are present.

When a tv show asked people on the street what the body needs to work properly and metabolize, what person answered properly?

• Karen answered:

  Starbucks, Target shopping, and yoga

• Billy answered :

  When cells are getting glucose and amino acids molecules from food and oxygen

If Drew has an issue in his respiratory system, why will exercising be an issue?

• His metabolism will not function because his air molecules are too large to get into the cells

• His digestive system will not be able to break down air into oxygen

• His cells will not work well with low oxygen

Proteins we eat, provide what for our cells?

• the ability to be broken down to amino acids and converted back to special proteins in the cell that help grow and repair cells.in the digestive system

• 
  energy that is converted by starches

• 
  protein in converted into starch to be used in cellular respiration and then converted into energy by the mitochondria
