Detailed explanation-1: -A patient has been eating healthy foods, but his digestive system is not doing what it usually does. Can this patient still exercise normally? Yes, as long as he can still breathe, his cells will have all the molecules they need to release energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why is this a problem for her ability to exercise? Her respiratory system will not be able to break down molecules from air into oxygen. Her cells will not work well when they have low levels of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -How can the program’s doctors make sure the astronauts’ bodies work well enough to exercise in space? The doctors could make sure the astronauts’ cells are getting the molecules they need from food and air. Some types of syrup are almost entirely made of glucose molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is one way doctors will be able to tell whether her body is healthy enough to do all her tasks while she is in the submarine? The doctors could see if her cells are getting the molecules they need from food and air.
Detailed explanation-5: -No, her cells need glucose to react with amino acids to release enough energy to exercise. 10.
