A
Process by which certain groups of organisms capture energy from sunlight and convert that solar energy into chemical energy that is initially stored in a carbohydrate
Photosynthesis
An organism that makes its own food. Give an example.
Producer - Grass, plants, trees
These are pores in the epidermis that allow carbon dioxide in and water out.
Stomata
Photosynthesis gives off _____________________________.
Oxygen
Plant eaters
Herbivore
Molecules that absorb sunlight
Pigments
These organelles are the site of photsynthesis.
Chloroplasts
These get their energy by eating other organisms. Give some examples
Consumers - fox, rabbit, mice, humans, dolphins
Meat Eaters
Carnivore

In light reactions the thylakoid takes _________________ energy and transforms it into __________________ energy.
Solar
Chemical
Tell me the equation for cellular respiration.
Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + ATP
