Metabolism Unit Test Review

Front

What is the primary function of the respiratory system?

Back

The primary function of the respiratory system is to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Front

What do cells need to make energy besides oxygen and amino acids?

Back

Cells need glucose molecules to make energy.

Front

What is starch broken down into during digestion?

Back

Starch is broken down into glucose.

Front

Why might someone feel tired if their cells have glucose but not enough oxygen?

Back

They may feel tired because their respiratory system may not be working properly, preventing adequate oxygen intake.

Front

Which body system is responsible for transporting molecules to and from all cells?

Back

The circulatory system is responsible for transporting molecules to and from all cells.

Front

What is metabolism?

Back

Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms that convert food into energy.

Front

What role do glucose molecules play in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose molecules are a primary source of energy for cells during cellular respiration.

Front

What happens to glucose in the absence of oxygen?

Back

In the absence of oxygen, glucose undergoes fermentation, producing less energy compared to aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the relationship between the digestive system and energy production?

Back

The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients like glucose, which are essential for energy production in cells.

Front

How does the circulatory system support the respiratory system?

Back

The circulatory system transports oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carries carbon dioxide from the cells back to the lungs.
