Study Notes
Topic 2 – The Cell System
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms make food using energy from sunlight.
- Plants and other organisms use photosynthesis to produce glucose (food) from sunlight.
Energy Transfer
- All organisms get energy directly (autotrophs) or indirectly (heterotrophs) from the sun.
- Autotrophs make food and store it within themselves.
- Heterotrophs consume or absorb food from other organisms.
Photosynthesis Stage 1
- Chloroplasts are green organelles that contain chlorophyll, which can capture light energy.
- Chlorophyll captures light energy to create oxygen and sugar.
- Sunlight splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
Active and Passive Transport
- Active transport is a process that requires energy.
- Passive transport is a process that does not require energy.
- Forms of passive transport include diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
- Forms of active transport include mediated transport and pumping.
