| Inorganic | Does not contain both hydrogen and carbon atoms |
| Glucose | The high energy sugar that is made through the process of photosynthesis |
| Cellular respiration | The process that releases ATP by breaking down glucose |
| Aerobic | Type of respiration where oxygen is required, and it occurs in the mitochondria |
