ATP
A molecule of unstable energy; releases energy when a phosphate group is rid of.
Autotroph

Releases energy to create ATP in food.
Chloroplast
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
Glucose
Asugar you use as a source of energy for your body.
Heterotroph
To get energy from other cells, cellular respiration is used.
Photosynthesis
The process by which light energy is transferred and converted to chemical energy by plants.
Producer
An organism that creates simple substances such as water and carbon dioxide from organic compounds; an autotroph.
Monosaccharide
Any of the sugar classes (e.g., glucose) that can’t be hydrolyzed for simpler sugar.
Polysaccharide
A carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a variety of sugar molecules bound together (e.g. starch, cellulose, or glycogen).
Starch
-A polysaccharide plant consisting of hundreds of glucose molecules, digestible by humans beinga long chain of 10 or more glucose molecules joined together in straight or branched chains/It is a polysaccharide and is the carbohydrate (glucose) type of storage in plants.
