Answer 5

Process that requires oxygen

Question 6

Process that does not require oxygen

Question 7

Fermentation

Answer 7

An anaerobic pathway for breaking down glucose

Question 8

Endocrine Glands

Answer 8

• Insulin – produced when glucose levels rise in order to stimulate the cells to uptake glucose from
  the blood and to lower blood glucose levels. Also stimulates cells to uptake aa from the blood.
• Glucagon – produced when glucose levels drop and its function is to bring glucose back to
