Photosynthesis
This process transforms solar energy into the chemical bonds of glucose
What is photosynthesis?
This chemical process transforms chemical bonds of glucose into a usable form of energy
What is cellular respiration?
The source of almost all current energy necessary for life
What is the sun (solar energy)?
What all food eventually turns into for energy
What is glucose?
The organisms that start of all food chains/food webs, things that make their own food
What are autotrophs (producers)?
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place
What is the chloroplast?
The organelle responsible for cellular respiration
What is the mitochondria?
This important compound is necessary for all life as we know it, typically found in a liquid state
