THE STORY OF CELL ENERGY

Cells directly use the molecule ________ for energy. Cells store energy in molecules by

_____________ bonds and release energy by ____________ bonds. Autotrophs (plants)

use the _________ as a source of energy for making food molecules like __________ and

heterotrophs(animals) use ____________ as a source of energy to make ATP molecules.

To get the energy needed to make food (sugar) molecules, plants must absorb light using

a _______________. The pigment used in photosynthesis is called ________________

and captures energy by absorbing red, and blue-violet types of light, while plants get their

color by reflecting _____________ light. To get the energy needed to make ATP

molecules, _____________organisms take the food molecules produced or ingested from

plants or other animals and break them down in the process of ___________________.

With the help of inhaled _______________, organisms break down sugars and make

ATP molecules to use to power cell processes.
