What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

To produce ATP

How many calories does the infographic suggest for women and men per day, respectively?

100 (women) and 150 (men)

Predict how many molecules of carbon dioxide are produced from the mitochondrial "burning" of one molecule of glucose?

6

How much sugar does it say is in a typical can of soda?

8 teaspoons

Which of the following is a common energy currency in living cells that powers most living organisms?

ATP

The food you eat is processed during cellular respiration to produce stored chemical energy in the form of __________. __________ and __________ are by products.

ATP; CO2; water

What organization created this infographic?

American Heart Association

Drag the labels to show how blood glucose level is maintained within a narrow range.

Blood glucose level decreases below normal level. → The pancreas releases glucagon, which stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood. → Blood glucose level increases.

From what you learned in the video, how does blood glucose level change (or not change) in a non-diabetic human?

Blood glucose level hovers within a narrow range.

Drag the labels to show how blood glucose level is maintained within a narrow range.

Blood glucose level increases above normal level. → The pancreas releases insulin, which causes glucose to enter body cells. → Blood glucose level decreases.

Drag the labels to show how blood volume is maintained within a narrow range.

Blood volume decreases below normal level. → Kidneys decrease urine production, increasing the volume of water in the blood. → Blood volume increases.

Drag the labels to show how blood volume is maintained within a narrow range.

Blood volume increases above normal level. → Kidneys increase urine production, reducing the volume of water in the blood. → Blood volume decreases.

In what ways are chloroplasts similar to mitochondria?

Both organelles provide energy to the cell.

Sort each structure or function depending on whether it describes a chloroplast or a mitochondrion.

Chloroplast - organelle of photosynthesis, produces O2 as a waste product, found only in plant cells and some algae, converts solar energy to chemical energy, contains thylakoids

How is diabetes linked with homeostasis?

Diabetes results from the body not responding with a negative feedback to the level of glucose in the blood.

Drag the labels onto the flowchart to indicate how food molecules reach the body's cells and fuel cellular respiration. Start with the ingestion of food on the left.

Eating food provides fuel and building blocks for your body. → After food is broken down in the digestive system, it is transported to cells via the circulatory system. → Fuel molecules are broken down further in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle (also called the Krebs cycle). → ATP is produced with the help of the electron transport chain.

Sort each structure or function depending on whether it describes a chloroplast or a mitochondrion.

Mitochondrion - organelle of cellular respiration, produces CO2 as a waste product, found in both animal cells and plant cells, harvests chemical energy from food

What is another name for the polymers of carbohydrates?

Polysaccharides

Which reaction represents cellular respiration?

Sugar + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide+ Water + ATP

Starch and glycogen are complex carbohydrates made by joining together long chains of __________ monomers.

glucose
