Document Summary
The chloroplasts of plants use a process called photosynthesis to capture chemical energy stored in sugars and other organic molecules. Plants and other autotrophs are the producers of the bio. Photosynthesis nourishes almost all the living world directly or indirectly. All organisms use organic compounds for energy and for carbon ske. Organisms obtain organic compounds by one of two major modes: a. Autotrophs produce their organic molecules from co2 and other inorgani. Autotrophs are the ultimate sources of organic compounds for all he. Autotrophs can be separated by the source of energy that drives their me. Photoautotrophs use light as a source of energy to synthesize organ. Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, some other protists, an. Heterotrophs live on organic compounds produced by other organisms. These organisms are the consumers of the biosphere. The most obvious type of heterotrophs feeds on other organisms. Other heterotrophs decompose and feed on dead organisms or on o.
