Question 17

A student thinks that the human body only works properly when cells are getting molecules from food and molecules from air. Is the student correct?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the body only works when cells get molecules from food and molecules from air.

Answer

No, the body only works when cells are getting molecules from different types of food.

Answer

No, the body only works when the lungs get molecules from air, and the stomach gets molecules from food.

Answer

No, the body works as long as cells are making all the molecules they need.

Question 21

6. Two soccer teams, the Bears and the Panthers, played games at the same time in two different locations. The Bears game was played at sea level, where there is a normal amount of oxygen. Before their game, the players on the Bears ate a lunch of mostly starch. The Panthers game was played at very high altitude, where there is less oxygen. The players on the Panthers ate a lunch of starch and protein. Which team probably did better in their game?

Accepted Answer

The Bears probably did better because their cells released energy from oxygen reacting with glucose, which was broken down from starch in the digestive system.

Answer

The Panthers probably did better because their cells released energy from breaking down protein in the digestive system, which then combined with oxygen in cells.

Answer

The teams did equally well because their digestive systems just need to break down starch into glucose for cells to release energy.

Answer

The teams did equally well because glucose from starch can react with oxygen or proteins to release energy.

Question 22

Accepted Answer

amino acids to form new proteins

Answer

starch to form glucose

Answer

Fiber to form oxygen

Answer

water and carbon dioxide
