Which is the definition for glucose?

• molecules that are the building blocks of proteins

• a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole

• the body's use of molecules for energy and growth

• a molecule that makes up large starch molecules

the body system that transports molecules to and from all cells of the body

• oxygen

• respiratory system

• digestive system

• circulatory system

the body system that takes in food and breaks it down

• stomach

• circulatory system

• digestive system

• respiratory system

The job of the respiratory system is to...
