| A | B |
|---|
| mouth | where starch enters your body; some digestion of starch begins here |
| esophagus | a tube that carries food to the stomach |
| stomach | NO digestion of starch happens here |
| small intestine | the organ in which the majority of starch is digested into glucose molecules |
| blood | picks up glucose molecules from the small intestine and delivers them to cells |
| cell | this is where blood delivers glucose molecules |
| cell membrane | glucose travels through this from the blood to the cytoplasm |
| glucose | these joined together make starch |
| corn | the best source of starch in the Metabolism SIM |
| sandwich | the 2nd best source of starch in the Metabolism SIM |
| mitochondrion/mitochondria | where cellular respiration occurs |
| oxygen | combined with glucose to release energy |
| cellular respiration | the process in which glucose and oxygen are joined in a mitochondrion to release energy |
| energy | the goal of cellular respiration |
| carbon dioxide | a waste product of cellular respiration |
| water | a waste product of cellular respiration |
| joining amino acids to make proteins | one of the ways cells use energy |
| treasure chest | represents glucose in the treasure chest analogy |
| key | represents oxygen in the treasure chest analogy |
| treasure | represents energy in the treasure chest analogy |
