energy The capacity to do work. Cellular work includes
processes such as building complex molecules and
moving substances into and out of the cell.
biofuels renewable fuels made from living organisms
, fossil fuels Carbon-rich energy sources, such as petroleum,
natural gas, and coal, which are formed from the
compressed, fossilized remains of once-living
organisms.
chemical energy potential energy stored in the chemical bonds that
hold chemical compounds together
conservation of energy The principle that energy cannot be created or
destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to
another.
potential energy stored energy
kinetic energy energy due to motion
heat The kinetic energy generated by random movements
of molecules or atoms.
Photosynthesis The process by which plants and algae harness the
energy of sunlight to make sugar from carbon
dioxide and water.
autotrophs Organisms such as plants, algae, and certain bacteria
that can make their own food from inorganic starting
materials (e.g., CO2).
heterotrophs Organisms, such as humans and other animals, that
obtain energy by consuming organic molecules that
were produced by other organisms.
Chloroplast The organelle in plant and algae cells where
photosynthesis occurs.
light energy a type of electromagnetic radiation that includes
visible light
