molecules that are the building blocks of proteins - amino acids, a molecule made of carbon and oxygen atoms - carbon dioxide, the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells - cellular respiration, glucose + oxygen > co2 + h2o + ATP - cellular respiration, a process in which atoms rearrange to form new substances - chemical reaction, the body system that transports molecules to and from all cells of the body - circulatory system, the body system that takes in food and breaks it down - digestive system, the ability to make things move or change - energy, the body’s use of molecules for energy and growth - metabolism, a molecule that organisms can use to release energy, and that is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen - glucose, a group of atoms joined together in a particular way - molecule, a molecule that organisms get from the air or water around them and use to release energy - oxygen, a category of large molecules that perform important functions inside living things (made up of amino acids) - proteins, the body system that takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide - respiratory system, a type of energy storage molecule made of many glucose molecules connected together - starch, a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole - system, A functioning human body has __________ from food (glucose and amino acids) and molecules from air (oxygen) in its cells. - molecules, ________ can only use molecules that are small enough to enter a cell. - Cells, The __________ system brings in oxygen molecules from the air. These oxygen molecules are already small enough to fit into cells. - respiratory, The ___________ system brings in food and breaks it down into smaller molecules, such as glucose and amino acids, that can fit into cells. - digestive, The ____________ system transports glucose, oxygen, and amino acid molecules to every cell in the body. - circulatory, Molecules are transported by ____ ______ ______. - red blood cells, The structure of a protein determines it's ____________. - function, In a functioning human body, body __________ work together to deliver glucose, oxygen, and amino acid molecules to the cells in the body. - systems, A problem with a body system can result in fewer oxygen, glucose, and/or amino acid molecules getting to the body’s _______. - cells, In order to release _______, cells need both glucose and oxygen molecules. - energy, This chemical reaction is called ________ __________ and releases energy. - cellular respiration, Cells can grow and repair themselves by combining amino acid molecules to form larger ________ molecules. - protein, Cellular growth and repair requires ________ release from cellular respiration. - energy, What is the transport station in the small intestines that absorbs molecules for the circulatory system? - villi, What is the transport station in the lungs that absorbs molecules for the circulatory system? - alveoli,
