Study Notes
Photosynthesis and Energy Transfer
- Plants capture light energy and produce organic compounds.
- Animals lack chlorophyll and cannot directly use sunlight for energy.
- Animals obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals that have consumed plants.
- This process transfers light energy to all living organisms.
Cellular Respiration
- Humans, like all animals, require oxygen to release energy stored in food.
- This process is called cellular respiration and is detailed in Topic 2.4.
Gas Exchange
- Oxygen is taken up from the atmosphere and carbon dioxide is removed.
- Oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood and then to the cells.
- Carbon dioxide moves in the opposite direction.
- This exchange process is called gas exchange.
