Question

warm up 10/8 and 10/9
what materials go into the mitochondria?
what materials go into the chloroplasts?
why do animals/plants need to do cellular respiration

Explanation:

1. For mitochondria: Pyruvate, ADP, Pi, and oxygen enter for cellular respiration. Pyruvate is the product of glycolysis and is further broken - down in the mitochondria. ADP and Pi are used to make ATP, and oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
2. For chloroplasts: Carbon dioxide, water, and light energy are the main inputs. Carbon dioxide is used for carbon - fixation in the Calvin cycle, water is split during the light - dependent reactions to release oxygen and provide electrons, and light energy is captured by pigments.
3. For cellular respiration in animals/plants: It is needed to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. ATP is used for various cellular processes such as active transport, biosynthesis, and movement.

Answer:

1. Materials entering mitochondria: Pyruvate, ADP, Pi, oxygen.
2. Materials entering chloroplasts: Carbon dioxide, water, light energy.
3. Reason for animals/plants to do cellular respiration: To produce ATP for cellular processes.
