ATP
amount of energy stored in a molecule of ATP compared to the amount stored in a molecule of glucose
Less
when a candle burns, energy is released in the form of
light and heat
how do heterotrophs and autotrophs differ in the way they get their energy to survive
Autotrophs make their own food and heterotrophs eat autotrophs.
2 examples of 2 heterotrophs and 2 autotrophs
heterotrophs: cow, horse
Autotroph: plant, bacteria

false
autotrophs dont need to eat food bc they make it (T/F)

true
term photosynthesis means “pulling apart with light” in Greek
false
addition to light and chlorophyll, photosynthesis requires
