What do living things have to be able to obtain?
Energy
What is essential to life?
Energy
What carries out all the processes of life?
Energy
What is the energy source of a cell?
Food ➡ Glucose ➡ ATP
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
Organism uses energy from the sun or makes their own nutrients
Autotroph
What are examples of autotroph?
Plant, bacteria, some protists
Organism can not make its own nutrients and feeds off of other organisms
Heterotroph
What are examples of heterotrophs?
Humans, animals, some bacteria, fungus
Process which autotrophs capture energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use energy to covert CO2 and water into simple sugar
Photosynthesis
Process by which mitochondria break down food and molecules
Cellular respiration
CO2+H2O ➡ Sunlight ➡ C6H12O6+O2 (glucose)
Photosynthesis equation
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
C6H12O6+O2 ➡ CO2+H2O
Cellular respiration equation
Where does cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
What is a acid indicator?
BTB
