I'm the powerhouse
where respiration
occurs.
✓ Mitochondria
C
I capture sunlight to
make food in plants.
✓ Chloroplast
D
I split glucose into
two pyruvate molecules.
✓ Glycolysis
E
I'm the 3-carbon
product of splitting
glucose.
O ✓ Pyruvate
F
I use light to turn CO2
and water into sugar.

G
I'm the gas respiration
needs to make ATP.
O O ✓ Oxygen
H
I break down pyruvate
and release CO2.
✓ Krebs cycle
I
I use electrons to make
most of the ATP.
ATP ✓ Electron transport chain
