  1. 2. The process where our bodies take molecules from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to create energy
  2. 5. Large molecule that is broken down into glucose
  3. 7. Molecules that come from breaking down protein and are used by our cells to form new proteins our bodies need
  4. 10. The system that transports the molecules our body cells need
  5. 11. Large molecule that is broken down into amino acids
  6. 12. Sugar molecules that come from the breaking down of starch and are used by the mitochondria in cells to create energy
  7. 13. The system that brings in oxygen through breathing and releases carbon dioxide
  8. 14. Chemical reaction that occurrs in the mitochondria when glucose and oxygen are combined to create energy

  1. 1. The system thatb reaks down the food we eat into the smaller molecules our body needs
  2. 3. Molecules that are released as a byproduct from cellular respiration and are absorbed by our cells for other important uses
  3. 4. Large molecule that just passes through the digestive system
  4. 6. Dioxide Molecules that are released as a byproduct from cellular respiration and are released from the respiratory system
  5. 8. Organelle in the cell where cellular respiration happens
  6. 9. Molecules that come from the air we breathe and are used by the mitochondria in cells to create energy
