  1. 1. A disease that prevents oxygen from reaching the lungs.
  2. 3. a claim supported by evidence
  3. 5. this system uses chemical reactions to break large molecules into smaller molecules.
  4. 6. a process in which atoms rearrange to form new substances.
  5. 7. a category of large molecules that perform important functions inside living things.
  6. 8. the body system that transports molecules to and from all cells of the body from the villi and alveoli to the cells.
  7. 9. a molecule that organisms get from the air or water around them and use to release energy.
  8. 13. the process of making clear how your evidence supports your claim.
  9. 15. A disease in which there are fewer red blood cells to pick up the oxygen from the alveoli, resulting in an oxygen shortage in the cells of the body.

  12. 23. A disease which causes there to be less than normal amounts of enzymes needed to digest starches and proteins.
  13. 25. the chemical reaction between oxygen and glucose that releases energy into cells.
  14. 26. A disease caused by too little glucose in the cells due to a lack of insulin.
  15. 27. is where cellular respiration happens in the cells.
Down
  1. 2. molecules that are the building blocks of proteins.
  2. 4. the body system that takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

  4. 11. a group of atoms joined together in a particular way.
  5. 12. A scientific argument using evidence to support a claim.
  6. 14. a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole.
  7. 15. is in the lungs where oxygen is picked up by the red blood cells.
  8. 16. tells the cells to let glucose in.
