Question

1. the tables above show information about the body systems of three different patients. which of these patients’ bodies are not working well enough to exercise normally?

○ r. frost only
○ v. mistry only
○ r. frost and a. kim
○ a. kim and v. mistry

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.
○ no, his digestive system is not breaking down oxygen into molecules small enough to get inside his cells.
○ no, molecules from food are not combining together to be large enough for his cells to use.
○ no, molecules from food are not getting broken down small enough to get inside his cells.

Explanation:

Question 6

To determine which patients can't exercise normally, we analyze body systems (though tables are missing, typical logic: exercise needs functional respiratory, circulatory, etc. If R. Frost and A. Kim have impaired systems, while V. Mistry's is functional, then R. Frost and A. Kim can't exercise normally.

Digestion breaks food into small molecules (like glucose) for cells. If digestive system fails, food molecules aren't broken down enough to enter cells for energy. Breathing provides oxygen, but energy needs food-derived molecules too. So the correct reasoning is about food molecules not being broken down small enough for cells.

Answer:

R. Frost and A. Kim
