drag and drop the labels to complete the graphic organizer for cellular respiration.
graphic organizer with green boxes labeled: gas needed to start, occurs in mitochondria, cells need this to carry out cellular activities, gas used by autotrophs, and other empty green boxes; blue labels on the left: photosynthesis, cellular respiration, energy, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sugar, respiration, water

Explanation:

1. Gas needed to start: Cellular respiration requires oxygen as an input to break down sugar.
2. Left input (to mitochondria): Sugar (glucose) is the primary fuel molecule for cellular respiration.
3. Occurs in mitochondria: This process is cellular respiration, which takes place in mitochondria.
4. Cells need this to carry out cellular activities: The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce energy (ATP) for cell functions.
5. Middle output: Water is a byproduct of the final stage of cellular respiration.
6. Gas used by autotrophs: Carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, is used by autotrophs (like plants) for photosynthesis.

Answer:

• Gas needed to start: Oxygen
• Left input (to mitochondria): Sugar
• Occurs in mitochondria: Cellular respiration
• Cells need this to carry out cellular activities: Energy
• Middle output: Water
• Gas used by autotrophs: Carbon dioxide
