Interdependent
2 or more things that depend on each other
Radiant energy
Energy from the sun
Photosynthesis
Process of which plants convert radiant energy water H20 and CO2 into glucose O2 and H2O
Chloroplast
Contains chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place
Chlorophyll
Green molecule that uses radiant energy to change H2O and CO2 gas into glucose and O2
Photosynthesis Chemical Equation
H2O+CO2+randiant energy= O2+C6+C6H12O6
Glucose
C6H12O6
Autotrophs
Make their own food
heterotrophs
Don’t make their own food
Respiration
Process of which chemical potential energy of food molecules is released and changed into ATP
Mitochondria
Double membrane which converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP
