Metabolism Review
Across
- 2. The process where our bodies take molecules from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to create energy
- 5. Large molecule that is broken down into glucose
- 7. Molecules that come from breaking down protein and are used by our cells to form new proteins our bodies need
- 10. The system that transports the molecules our body cells need
- 11. Large molecule that is broken down into amino acids
- 12. Sugar molecules that come from the breaking down of starch and are used by the mitochondria in cells to create energy
- 13. The system that brings in oxygen through breathing and releases carbon dioxide
- 14. Chemical reaction that occurrs in the mitochondria when glucose and oxygen are combined to create energy
Down
- 1. The system thatb reaks down the food we eat into the smaller molecules our body needs
- 3. Molecules that are released as a byproduct from cellular respiration and are absorbed by our cells for other important uses
- 4. Large molecule that just passes through the digestive system
- 6. Dioxide Molecules that are released as a byproduct from cellular respiration and are released from the respiratory system
- 8. Organelle in the cell where cellular respiration happens
- 9. Molecules that come from the air we breathe and are used by the mitochondria in cells to create energy
