The respiratory system brings what molecule into the body?

• glucose

• carbon dioxide

• oxygen

• It is transported to cells by the circulatory system.

• It enters to the body through the digestive system.

When we eat large molecules like starch and protein, why don't they do directly into the circulatory system?

• They need to be combined together first.

• Our cells don't need them, so they are eliminated.

• They need to pass through the respiratory system first.

• They need to break down into smaller molecules before they can enter the blood or cells.

People who have diabetes lack insulin, which helps glucose get into our cells. What would you expect to see in someone with diabetes?

• Less glucose in the cells.

• More oxygen in the circulatory system.

• More starch in the digestive system
