Ezra eats a cheese sandwich for lunch. Cheese contains a lot of protein, and
bread is mostly starch. Ezra plans to play basketball later in the afternoon. He is
breathing normally.


What does Ezra need from the food he ate and the air he breathes so that he
can play basketball? How do Ezra’s body systems work together to get the
molecules he needs into his cells? How do his cells use these molecules to
release energy for his body to run?
