6.1 Capturing the energy in light pp. 111-113 Autotroph = organism that makes its own food Auto = self troph= food or eat Light energy stored in chemical bonds of organic compounds (sugars, oils, starches) Done by green plants, algae, some bacteria

6.1 Capturing the energy in light pp. 111-113 Heterotroph = organism that eats other organisms Hetero = different troph = food Worm, bird, you… All food energy is directly or indirectly from the sun (Food Chain): Sun →→ plant →→ cow →→ you
