Heterotroph

Organism that obtains energy by consuming organic matter from other organisms.

Photosynthesis

Process where plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using CO2 and water.

Chlorophyll

Light-absorbing pigment in chloroplasts, crucial for capturing light energy in photosynthesis.
