Make observations about how the different body systems work in the Metabolism Sim. Record your observations and answer the questions below.
1. Launch the Metabolism Simulation, select HEALTHY BODY, and select OBSERVE.
2. Feed the body sandwiches (which provide a mix of molecule types).
3. Focus on what happens to starch in the digestive system. Turn off all the molecules except for
starch and glucose. What do you observe?
4. Now repeat your observation, but this time turn off all the molecules except for protein and amino
acids. What do you observe?
5. Finally, turn off all the molecules except for oxygen. What do you observe?
