Define the words in the boxes. On the line across each arrow, write a phrase that describes how the words in the boxes
are related to one another.

Fill in the blank:

Virtually all forms of life depend on a molecule know as as their primary energy carrier. Plants
produce this during , but plants and all other organisms can also produce ATP through chemical
pathways that degrade food molecules. The main degradative pathway requires free oxygen and is called
.
There are three stages of aerobic respiration. In the first stage, , glucose is partial
degraded to . By the end of the second stage, which includes the
cycle, glucose has been completely degraded to carbon dioxide and . Neither of the first two stages
produce much
