Metabolism Simulation Lesson

Watch oxygen (the little green dot) in the simulation. What parts of the body is oxygen in? What is the oxygen doing in the different parts of the body?

Take 5 minutes and answer the questions about oxygen.

Look at the simulation.

What system does the blue represent?

What system does the red represent?

What system does the green represent?

What does the yellow represent?

What does the orange represent?

Let's start with the protein.

What system is the protein in?

What path does the protein follow once it is in the system?

What system is the Amino Acid in?

What path does the amino acid follow once it is in the system?

What system is the glucose in?

What path does the glucose follow once it is in the system?

What system is the oxygen in?

What path does the oxygen follow once it is in the system?

Were there any molecules that started in one system and went into the other? If so, which ones and what path did they take?
