Cheesy Story

Prologue

In the subject story, there will be two main characters, an oxygen (O2) molecule and a glucose (C6 H12 O6) molecule. The oxygen (O2) molecule shall be named Oxycule while the glucose (C6 H12 O6) molecule shall be named Glucule. Once strangers, Oxycule and Glucule along with many other oxygen and glucose molecules will promptly combine with each other in the process of cellular respiration (a type of oxidation) to form one molecule known as Carbon Dioxide + Energy (CO2 + Energy). Following the oxidation phase, the carbon dioxide and the energy is released out into the open in which the two will separate.
Oxidation is defined as – “The process in which Oxygen (O2) and matter combine and create carbon dioxide and energy”
Cellular Respiration is defined as “The process by which cells in some organisms release energy from sugar in the presence of oxygen,” as stated by Merrill Life Science.
Glucose is defined as “a sweet light-colored syrup made from cornstarch,” as stated by Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Molecule is defined as “the smallest particle of matter that is the same chemically as the whole mass,” as stated by Merriam-Webster Dictionary.


Chapter 1 - Now Hiring

Once upon a time, there was an oxygen molecule (O2) named Oxycule. He is famous upon the attractive glucose (C6 H12 O6) molecules, which he dreamed of getting combined with a glucose (C6 H12 O6) molecule via Cellular Respiration. Oxycule was unemployed for a while, due to his lack of integrity in the field of oxidizing. Then one day he saw an indication remarking the following:
Now Hiring Oxygen Molecules!
Descend the Human Respiratory System
And connect with attractive Glucose molecules via Cellular Respiration

Since Oxycule was unemployed, he decided to take the offer. Oxycule followed the path to where legions of fellow oxygen molecules wait in line to go inside the Human Respiratory System. As Oxycule approached the nose, the discerning brain cells announce that pressure is going to decrease in five seconds. The subject oxygen molecule was reveling in excitement!
Human Respiratory System is defined as “The human body system, which relates to breathing and oxidation”


Chapter 2 – Like a Coaster Ride!

As pressure decreases, the oxygen molecule surges through the nose in haste. The journey through the canal was very interesting. There were numerous tourist attractions (human organs) along the nasal passage. We observed many tourist attractions such as the larynx, the trachea, the bronchiole and the alveoli. As we approached the alveoli, many dust particles were behind us. Then a loud noise similar to a coughing sound filled the area. Pressure increases and a loud cough came by. Following the event, only 1/6 of us remained inside the lungs. We flowed into the bloodstream and waited for glucose.
Larynx is defined as “The upper part of the trachea containing the vocal cords,” as stated by Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Trachea is defined as “The main tube by which air enters the lungs of vertebrates,” as stated by Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Bloodstream is defined as “The flowing blood in a circulatory system,” as stated by Merriam-Webster Dictionary.


Chapter 3 – Glucose!

Meanwhile at the mouth, a massive amount of glucose-filled foods appeared. As it is being slowly digested via the process of Chemical Digestion, glucose is slowly being absorbed into the body. The bolus (food) is then drained down towards the esophagus, the food breaks down and mucus appears. The bolus travels through the epiglottis and down the trachea. Then the bolus arrives at the esophagus. The bolus then journeys through the stomach and stays there for an additional four and one half-hour. The bolus promptly transforms into simpler forms, using acids named bile for a greater surface area. Within the next 4-12 hours, sphincter muscles open up the rest of the alimentary canal through the small intestine. A greater surface area is preferred because an enhanced amount of nutrients will be amalgamated in a shorter time when its surface area is large.

Glucose is then flowed towards the oxygen and combines with them. The most captivating glucose molecule named Glucule flows towards Oxycule while the others cry in sorrow. The subject oxygen molecule, wildly stimulated, frantically jumping up and down combines with Glucule. The other discerning oxygen molecules, not as fortunate, combines with a glucose molecule not as they dreamed of. Cellular Respiration is completed! Following oxidation, pressure increases and the oxidized molecules (CO2 + Energy) go through the bloodstream, ascend through the alveoli, rise through the bronchus and through every cartilage ring of the trachea and escapes via the mouth. Soon afterwards, the molecules become oxygen (O2) and the story starts over…

Meanwhile, the feces (remains of the food) flows down the large intestine to the rectum and arrive at where we call the anus. Afterward it drops out of the human body, the feces, in most cases, flows into the sewer. Afterwards, bacteria digest the feces and recycle our post-digestion remnants.
Digestion is defined as “The process of converting food into simpler forms and increasing surface area so that the body can absorb it,” as stated by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
