Document Summary

All cells convert energy to adenosine triphosphate (atp) that can be easily used to drive cellular processes: atp contains energy in its chemical bonds. Carbon is backbone of organic molecules that make up cells: cells often use carbon-based components as a stable form of energy storage. Organisms have two ways of harvesting energy from their environment and two sources of carbon: four principal ways in which organisms acquire energy and materials needed to grow, function, and reproduce. Organisms can be classified according to their energy and carbon sources. Organisms have two ways of harvesting energy from environment. Phototrophs: organisms that capture energy from sunlight: ex: plants use energy from sunlight to convert co2 and h2o sugar + o2. Chemotrophs: organisms that derive energy from chemical compounds: ex: animals ingest other organisms, obtaining organic molecules that they break down in presence of oxygen (oxidization) to produce co2 + h2o.
