They might not be drinking enough water.

d)

They might not be stretching when they get up in the morning.

11.

True or False. Cells need oxygen molecules and glucose molecules to react to make energy?

a)

True.

a)

the cell wall

b)

the nucleus

c)

d)

the metabolism

15.

A patient has high levels of starch in their digestive system, but low levels of glucose in their circulatory system and cells. What does this tell you?

a)

That the digestive system is not breaking down starch.

b)

That the digestive system is working properly.

c)

The patient is not eating enough glucose.

d)

The patient needs to eat more protein.

16.

When a person has asthma...

a)

their circulatory system does not bring the oxygen to the cells.

b)

their cells are taking in glucose, but not amino acids.

c)

their body does not make enough insulin for the cells to absorb the oxygen

d)

their respiratory system is not able bring the necessary amounts of oxygen that the cells need.

17.

When a person has diabetes

a)

their digestive system is breaking down starch into glucose, but their circulatory system is not moving the glucose to the cells.

b)

their digestive system is breaking down starch into glucose, but their body lacks insulin which helps the cells absorb glucose.

c)

their digestive system is not breaking down starch into glucose, so they have low levels of glucose.

d)

their digestive system is breaking down starch into glucose, but their respiratory system cannot bring in enough oxygen.
