CHAPTER 3 AND 4 REVIEW AMPLIFY METABOLISM

Front

What is metabolism?

Back

Metabolism is the body's use of molecules for energy and growth.

Front

Why is oxygen important for cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration as it helps cells produce energy more efficiently.

Front

What happens to cells when they have low levels of oxygen?

Back

Cells do not work well and cannot produce energy efficiently.

Front

What is blood doping?

Back

Blood doping is a method used to improve the body's ability to carry oxygen in the circulatory system.

Front

What does protein break down into?

Back

Protein breaks down into amino acids.

Front

How does increased oxygen affect cellular respiration?

Back

Increased oxygen improves cellular respiration, which increases the energy cells create.

Front

What is the role of glucose in metabolism?

Back

Glucose is a primary energy source for the body's metabolism.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is the circulatory system's role in metabolism?

Back

The circulatory system transports oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products.

Front

How does exercise affect metabolism?

Back

Exercise increases metabolism by requiring more energy and oxygen for muscle activity.
