1. How Do Organisms Get and Use Energy?
How plants use energy from the sun

2. Energy Sources
Plants make their own food, making them producers or autotroph
Uses leaves to make food, in the Chloroplasts
The sun is Earth’s primary energy source.

Photosynthesis
The process by which plants and other autotrophs capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water

4. Photosynthetic Equation

5. Ingredients for Photosynthesis
NEED
THROUGH
Water
Carbon Dioxide
Sun light
Roots
Stoma, or plant nostrils
Chlorophyll, stored in the Chloroplast, plant kitchen

6. Photosynthesis
Chlorophyll - Green substance that traps energy from the sun
Stored in the Chloroplast- green organelles inside plant cells

8. Sequence of Photosynthesis to Cellular Respiration
Water, light energy, and carbon dioxide enter chloroplast.
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast, producing sugar and oxygen.
Oxygen and sugar enter the mitochondria.
Cellular Respiration takes place in the mitochondria, producing water, energy, and carbon dioxide.
The process repeats itself so that the plant can continue to grow.

9. Photosynthesis and Respiration

10. Cellular Respiration Breaking down sugar and turning it into energy
Chemical Process
Happens in the mitochondria, “power house” of plant cells.
