- Student explains that the mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration, which breaks down glucose to release energy for cells.
- Student explains that the chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis, which converts sunlight energy into chemical energy that is stored as food molecules.
- Student explains that mitochondria produce carbon dioxide which is used by the chloroplast; and the chloroplast produces ATP and glucose, which are used by the mitochondria.

Performance Assessment A:
Create a resume for ATP applying for a job in a cell. Your role is the ATP, your audience is the cell’s human resources department, and the format is a resume. Your resume should include:
- Your full name (What does ATP stand for?)
- The type of job you are seeking
- List of your skills/abilities
- Your prior work experience
- Your personal interests
Make sure your resume includes the roles of ATP in photosynthesis, respiration, and active transport. Include the following other vocabulary terms: mitochondria, chloroplast, carrier protein, and concentration gradient.
