Photosynthesis I Flashcards
Biochemical process for building carbohydrates from ______ and ______
-Sunglight
-CO2
Light energy from sun converted into chemical energy
photosynthesis
Nourishes nearly the entire living world directly or indirectly
Photosynthesis
2 basic metabolic models?
-Autotrophs
-Heterotrophs
Basic Metabolic Models:
-Self-feeders/producers
-produces organic molecules from CO2
Autotrophs
Use light energy to drive the process of autotrophs
Photoautotrophs
Basic Metabolic Model:
-other feeders
-unable to make their own food
-consumers of biosphere
Heterotrophs
-Herbivores
-Carnivores
-Omnivores
-Decomposers
Heterotrophs
Eukaryote Photosynthesis occurs in ?
