Molecules to Organisms

The test report above shows the level of molecules in different parts of the patient’s body. How would you expect this patient to do on an exercise test?

• Well; his body is working properly.

• Poorly; his digestive system is not combining glucose molecules together for the cells to use.

• Poorly; his digestive system is not breaking down molecules from starch molecules from food into glucose.

• Poorly; his respiratory system is not breaking down oxygen molecules into glucose.
