Document Summary

Autotrophs: self-sustaining organisms produce own food without consuming organic molecules from other organisms. Plants capture light and transfer it into chemical energy. Plants are producers of the biosphere produce own food supply feed consumers. Heterotrophs: consume plants and animals or decompose organic material. Photosynthesis plants convert co2 and h2o to their own organic molecules and release o2 as a by- product. Photosynthesis originated in a group of bacteria that had infolded regions of the plasma membrane containing clusters of enzymes and other molecules. All green parts of the plant have chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis leaves have the most chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are concentrated in the cells of the mesophyll. Mesophyll: green tissue in interior of the leaves (30-40 chloroplasts) Pay a role in converting solar energy to chemical energy. Stomata: tiny pores in the leaves that allow co2 to enter and o2 o exit.
