HELPME THIS DUE TODAY 1. Where does the body get glucose molecules?

2. Where does the body get amino acids?

3. Where does the body get oxygen?

4. What do you think could happen if the human body doesn’t take in one or all of these molecules? Why do you think this?

Glucose molecules are energy carrying molecules that provides the body with the necessary energy that it requires to function properly and a very important source of glucose is Carbohydrate rich foods like maize.

While amino acids are necessary for the proper functioning of the Human system and also a second source of energy. A very important source of the amino acid is animal protein.

When any of these molecules are missing the human body cannot maintain homeostasis which will result in severe health conditions and death.

Hence we can conclude that the body gets glucose from carbohydrate foods, amino acids from animal protein and oxygen from the atmosphere.

1.This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.

2.Humans can produce 10 of the 20 amino acids. The others must be supplied in the food. Failure to obtain enough of even 1 of the 10 essential amino acids, those that we cannot make, results in degradation of the body's proteins—muscle and so forth—to obtain the one amino acid that is needed.

3.The oxygen enters the bloodstream from the alveoli, tiny sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place (Figure below). The transfer of oxygen into the blood is through simple diffusion. The oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart.

4. If the human body doesn't take in one or all of these molecules we'll simply die or we'll be in severe health issues. We use glucose as a form of energy, if we don't take in any energy we'll die. We need amino acids to help break down food in our body, if we don't we'll be in very severe health issues. And of course we need oxygen to be alive. We need oxygen for respiration and photosynthesis to take place. We also need oxygen to burn the fuel in our body to produce energy.

hope this helps and have a great day:)
