The flow of energy between chloroplasts and mitochondria. Chloroplasts and mitochondria complete the breakdown of carbohydrates to produce energy. Mitochondria are organelles that use oxygen molecules to produce ATP and carbon dioxide. This process requires solar energy and water. Chloroplasts are organelles that capture solar energy and use water and carbon dioxide to convert carbohydrates. Notice that the by-products of one process are used as the reactants for the other process. This is referred to as the cycling of molecules. It is actually the cycling of molecules between chloroplasts and mitochondria that allows the flow of energy from the sun through all living things.

Complete the following paragraphs on cellular respiration and then arrange them in chronological order. During glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm, glucose molecules are broken down to produce two ATP and two NADH. Additionally, through the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, energy from the further breakdown of pyruvic acid is used to convert ADP to ATP. NAD is also converted to NADH and FAD is converted to FADH2. Carbon dioxide is also formed through the combination of hydrogen. In the electron transport system, which occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, NADH and FADH2 are harvested and used to convert ADP to ATP. Oxygen is also used in this process.
