Blood Doping Erythropoietin

When energy is produced, amino acids (ideally 3) combine in the cells to form proteins for:

• Glucose and Oxygen

• Energy and Strength

• Growth and Repair

• Protein and Starch

What is the process of blood doping?(From start to finish)

• Before competition, athlete injects store blood back into his or her body to increase number of red blood cells and oxygen. Athlete drains their own blood

  Athlete stores the blood in cool place for later

• Before competition, athlete injects store blood back into his or her body to increase number of red blood cells and oxygen.

  Athlete stores the blood in cool place for later

  Athlete drains their own blood

• Athlete drains their own blood.

  Athlete puts extra chemicals inside the blood.

  Athlete injects the doped blood before competition.

• Athlete drains their own blood

  Athlete stores the blood in cool place for later

  Before competition, athlete injects store blood back into his or her body to increase number of red blood cells and oxygen.

Some athletes increase the amount of __________________ that can be carried by their bodies through a process called blood doping.

• Protein

• Oxygen

• Amino Acids

• Starch

Blood doping is an illegal process in which athletes increase their bodies’ ability to increase their release of energy by:

• Providing the body with more glucose which means a faster rate of cellular respiration and increased release of energy

• Providing the body with more amino acids which means a faster rate of cellular respiration and increased release of energy

• Providing the body with more oxygen in the body which means a faster rate of cellular respiration and increased release of energy

What system is involved in helping the process of blood doping happened in our body?

• Circulatory System

• Respiratory System

• Digestive System

When the body grows or repairs itself, cells divide into:

• More molecules

• More Cells

• Glucose and Amino Acids

• New protein molecules

Why is blood doping very difficult to detect?

• Since the body always contains red blood cells, it is difficult to detect oxygen that is injected into the athletes bloodstream.

• Since the body always contains red blood cells, it is difficult to find evidence that an athlete has injected extra red blood cells into his or her bloodstream

• Since the body always contains red blood cells, it difficult to find evidence of extra blood in the athletes bloodstream.

In the parts of the cells called mitochondria, glucose and oxygen combine to make carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. This is called:

• Protein assembling

• Cellular Respiration

• Glucose and Oxygen

• Amino Acid Assembling

How can scientists detect blood doping?

• By testing the age of the red blood cells in the athletes body

• By testing the chemicals present in the red blood cells in the the athletes body

• By test the amount of oxygen present in the read blood cells in the athletes body.
