Biology

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
