organisms that make their own food. They are also called producers

The process in which glucose is broken down and ATP is made.

heterotrophs are called consumers.

consists of organic molecules that store energy in their chemical bonds.

is a simple carbohydrate that stores energy in a concentrated stable form.

living things that cannot make their own food. They get food by consuming other organisms, which is why they are called consumers.

changes light energy into chemical energy and also releases oxygen.

autotrophs are called producers.

stage II of photsynthesis- combines carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and uses the chemical energy in ATP and NADPH to make glucose.

uses chemical energy instead of light energy.

electron transport chain

a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation.

grana consists of sac-like membranes, known as thylakoid membranes.

stage I of photosynthesis- This stage uses water and changes light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH (another energy-carrying molecule). This stage also releases oxygen as a waste product.

group of molecules that include chlorophyll

space outside the thylakoid membranes.

these membranes contain photosystems.
