When you eat a meal, your food is digested and molecules of glucose are transported throughout your body. Your food was transformed and used for cellular energy in the form of ATP. Assess the processes described to determine the body systems that are responsible for this energy transformation.
Responses
A muscular, digestive, respiratorymuscular, digestive, respiratory
B respiratory, circulatory, digestiverespiratory, circulatory, digestive
C digestive, muscular, nervous, endocrinedigestive, muscular, nervous, endocrine
D integumentary, muscular, nervous, digestive
B respiratory, circulatory, digestive
The correct answer is C) digestive, muscular, nervous, endocrine.
The digestive system breaks down the food into smaller, absorbable molecules. The muscular system facilitates the movement of these molecules through contraction, allowing them to be transported to the cells. The nervous system controls and coordinates this process, while the endocrine system regulates metabolism and the production of ATP, the cellular energy molecule.
The processes described in the question involve the transformation of food into energy in the form of ATP, which is then transported throughout the body. To determine the body systems responsible for this energy transformation, we need to assess the processes involved.
1. Digestive System: The digestive system breaks down the food you eat into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. In this case, it breaks down the food into glucose molecules.
2. Respiratory System: The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases, specifically oxygen and carbon dioxide. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP. The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the cells and removes carbon dioxide, which is produced as a waste product of cellular respiration.
3. Circulatory System: The circulatory system, composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, transports the glucose and ATP molecules throughout the body. It delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removes waste products, including carbon dioxide.
Based on these processes, the body systems responsible for the energy transformation described in the question are the:
B) respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems
