Using what you know about cellular respiration, explain why M’Kenna is experiencing muscle cramps | Celiac disease does not let the body absorb the amount of glucose it needs to fuel cellular respiration in our body cells. Without energy, our body begins to produce less red blood cells. |
What symptom is M’Kenna experiencing that is evidence that she is unable to absorb enough glucose into her bloodstream to create ENERGY? | Fatigue |
Why would M’Kenna eventually begin to lose weight or stop growing if she isn’t taking in enough glucose molecules for cellular respiration? | Since the body’s fats and proteins will be used for energy rather than their original purpose, M’Kenna will begin to lose weight as her fat storage is used up and will begin to stop growing, respectively |
What body system would suffer as a result of this, and which of M’Kenna’s symptoms would this lack of red blood cells production likely cause? | Respiratory system and difficulty breathing with exercise |
What body system would suffer as a result of this, and which of M’Kenna’s symptoms would this lack of glucose and oxygen molecules likely cause? | Circulatory system and rapid heartbeat with exercise |
What body system would suffer as a result of this, and which of M’Kenna’s symptoms would this lack of glucose and oxygen molecules likely cause? | Muscular system and muscle cramps |
What body system would suffer as a result of this, and which of M’Kenna’s symptoms would this lack of glucose and oxygen molecules likely cause? | Nervous system and fatigue and brain fog/difficulty concentrating |
What condition does M’Kenna have? | Celiac disease |
What organ is affected by this condition and how is it being damaged? How is that organ functioning different than a healthy version of that organ as a result? | Small intestine |
What is the name of the chemical reaction which occurs to produce energy in the body cells, and identify the reactants and products? | Cellular respiration |
What 3 body systems work together to provide the reactants of this chemical reaction to all body cells? | The respiratory system takes in oxygen, the digestive system absorbs glucose, and the circulatory system delivers both to the body cells |
