Q

Energy utilization

A

-energy required for survival
- comes from sunlight
-light energy converted into chemical energy by the plants
-convert sunlight +CO2 to glucose
-chemical energy by plant for
maintenance, growth or storage
- glucose provides the
chemical energy for Animals, Fungi and
microbes
