All organisms get their energy from the
Some have to get energy from outside sources; they cannot make their own. These are
Some can make their own food. These are
Food Factories of the world
Plants are Autotrophs-organisms that can make their own food.

•A Chemical reaction that produces food.
organisms that contain chlorophyll can carry out photosynthesis
Photosynthesis takes place in the
Chlorophyll traps the sun’s energy so it can be used.
Provides the energy for photosynthesis

This means: 6 molecules of water plus 6 molecules of carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll produces 1 molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen

1 molecule of glucose plus 6 molecules of oxygen produces 6 molecules of water plus 6 molecules of carbon dioxide plus ENERGY
Has to be present in order for cellular respiration to occur.
The mitochondria in the cell changes the energy stored in glucose into a form of energy that can be used by the cell to carry out life processes.
Is the form of energy produced in the mitochondria
ATP is produced during
which takes place primarily in the
If oxygen is present, 1 molecule of glucose will produce 36 molecules of ATP
Also known as aerobic respiration
This will only occur if oxygen is present
