P rocess by which autotrophs make their own food using the energy in light, CO2, and H2O. ! 6CO2 + 6H2O à 6O2 + C6H12O6 Light Energy Photosynthesis ! Needs Sunlight ! In Autotrophs ! Uses Energy ! In Chloroplasts ! Reactants: ! Water (H2O) ! Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ! Products: ! Glucose & Sugar (C6H12O6) Respiration ! Process that involves oxygen and breaks down food molecules to release energy. ! C6H12O6 + 6O2 à 6H2O +6CO2 + Energy Respiration ! Does Not Need Sunlight ! In Heterotrophs ! Produces Energy ! In Mitochondria ! Reactants: ! Glucose (C6H12O6) ! Oxygen (O2) ! Products: ! Water (H2O) ! Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Chloroplast ! T he organelle inside plant cells that contain chlorophyll & help the plant undergo photosynthesis. Chlorophyll ! T he main pigment in the cells of photosynthetic autotrophs that capture light energy. ! Located in the chloroplasts. Stomata ! G aps on the underside of leaves where CO2 enters the plant and O2 leaves. Glucose ! S ugar that is a product of photosynthesis that can be broken down into energy ! C6H12O6
