What are autotrophs? Organisms such as plants, algae, and certain bacteria
that can make food from inorganic (nonliving)
starting materials
What are heterotrophs? Organisms that can't make their own food and must
consume organic molecules produced by other
living organisms to obtain energy
, What is energy? The ability to do work. Living organisms obtain
energy either directly from sunlight (through
photosynthesis) or from food they consume.
What is potential energy? Stored energy.
What is kinetic energy? The energy of motion or movement.
What is chemical energy? Potential energy stored in the bonds of biological
molecules.
What happens during energy Converted from one form to another and heat is lost
transformation? to the surrounding environment. (Sometimes not
efficient)
What is chlorophyll? (Pigment molecule, captures the energy from the
sun. Utilized for light reaction to take place)The
pigment present in the green parts of plants that
absorbs photons of light energy during the "photo"
reactions of photosynthesis.
What color does chlorophyll reflect? Green
What color does chlorophyll absorb? Other colors around it, such as red & blue
What is the equation for
photosynthesis?
What occurs during photosynthesis? During the "photo" step, light energy is captured in
chemical form. In the process, water is split and
oxygen is released as a by-product. During the
"synthesis" step, this chemical energy powers the
formation of glucose molecules, using the carbon
atoms of carbon dioxide.
What is body mass index (BMI)? An estimate of body fat based on height and weight.
