Metabolism tier 3 vocabulary quiz

What is the definition of metabolism?

• Digestion of food

• Breaking down ingested food stuffs

• The sum of all chemical reactions in the body

• Respiration

Water is a (n)_____________ in cellular respiration

• Reactant (input)

• Product (output)

• Both a reactant (input) and product (output)

• Neither a reactant or product

chemical reaction

• a process in which atoms rearrange to form new substances
• a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole
• a proposed answer to a question about the natural world
• a claim supported by evidence

glucose

• a molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
• molecules that are the building blocks of proteins
• a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms
• a category of large molecules that perform important functions inside living things

oxygen

• a molecule that organisms get from the air or water around them and use to release energy
• molecules that are the building blocks of proteins
• a type of energy storage molecule made of many glucose molecules connected together
• a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms

Why would it be a problem for your cells to make energy if your digestive system isn't working properly?

• Cells need to breathe

• The molecules will not be broken down small enough to enter cells

• The amino acids would get lost

• There would be oxygen loss

What is the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells?

• Cellular respiration

• Glucose

• Metabolism

• Amino acid

What is a molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms?

• Glucose

• Oxygen

• Amino acid

• Metabolism

The process in which atoms rearrange to form new substances

• chemical reaction

• chemical equation

• cellular respiration

• digestive system

Adrenaline (choose 2 correct answers)

• is the hormone that prepares you for fight of flight by Decreasing heart and breathing rate to deliver less glucose and oxygen to cells so less aerobic respiration can happen and less energy (ATP) is released.

• is a hormone released by the adrenal glands

• The hormone that prepares you for fight of flight by increasing heart and breathing rate to deliver more glucose and oxygen to cells so more aerobic respiration can happen and more energy (ATP) is released.

• is a hormone released by the pituitary gland
