Document Summary

~phototrophs- capture energy from the sunlight, plants convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. ~chemeotrophs- get energy directly from chemicals, animals ingest other organisms obtaining molecules such as glucose that they break down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. ~autotrophs- (cid:862) elf feeders(cid:863) are able to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, using inorganic carbon as the starting material. ~heterotrophs- obtain carbon from organic molecules synthesized by other organisms, rely on other organisms for organic forms of carbon. ~photoheterotroph- gain energy from sun but carbon from preformed organic molecules. 1: catabolism- set of chemical reactions that break down molecules to smaller units and produce atp. 2: anabolism- chemical reactions that build molecules from smaller unites and require an input of energy, usually in the form of atp. ~kinetic energy- energy of motion, light is associated (photons), electricity (electrons), thermal (movement of molecules)
