4. Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
Organisms are divided into autotrophs and heterotrophs according to their energy pathways. Autotrophs are those organisms that are able to make energy-containing organic molecules from inorganic raw material by using basic energy sources such as sunlight. Plants are the prime example of autotrophs, when they use the photosynthesis process to make glucose. All other organisms must make use of food that comes from other organisms in the form of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. These organisms which feed on others are called heterotrophs.

14. Cellular Respiration

15. Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2
The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.
The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water

17. Glycolysis
In eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. The remaining processes take place in mitochondria.
Eukaryotes
Mitochondria are membrane-enclosed organelles distributed through the cytosol of most eukaryotic cells.
Their main function is the conversion of the potential energy of food molecules into ATP.
