| Question | Answer | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food: | Organic molecules (state 5) | |||||
| Producers | Autotrophs (what?) | Plants | ||||
| What sugar do plants produce to eat? | glucose | |||||
| Autotrophs that use sunlight and co2 to synthesize chemical energy: | Photoautotrophs (what are they?) | organisms that perform photosynthesis | ||||
| Consumers | Heterotrophs | |||||
| What do heterotrophs consume? | autotrophs or other heterotrophs, or both | cannot perform photosynthesis | ||||
| Heterotrophs undergo: | Cellular Respiration | |||||

| 3 major types of processes that involves energy vital for life | Photosynthesis | Cellular respiration | Biological work | |||
| Photosynthesis equation | carbon dioxide + water + light energy -> Glucose + Oxygen | 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6+6PO2 | ||||
| the process wherein solar energy is captured by the plant leaves to convert water and CO2 to sugar and oxygen | Photosynthesis | |||||
| Where does photosynthesis take place? | Plant leaves (in which layer?) | Mesophyll |
