Jaxson was tested to find out what molecules was inside his cells. His cells contained normal levels of oxygen, low levels of amino acid molecules, and low levels of glucose. Will Jaxson be able to exercise normally?

• Yes, as long as his cells have enough oxygen, he can exercise.

• No, his cells need glucose to react with oxygen to release enough energy to exercise.

• No, his cells need more amino acid molecules.

• No, his cells need glucose to react with amino acids.

Rosa eats a peanut buttersandwich for lunch. Peanut butter contains a lot of protein, and the bread is mostly starch. Rosa plans to go for a run later this afternoon. Rosa is breathing normally. How do these cells use the molecules to release energy for her body to run?

• When glucose and oxygen molecules are both in a cell, they undergo a chemical reaction, called cellular respiration(2) to release energy. (1)

• Oxygen molecules pass through her respiratory system and get sent through the circulatory system to her cells. The starch in her food is broken down and turned into glucose by her digestive system and sent to her cells through the circulatory system.
