Study Notes
Energy Acquisition
- Organisms derive energy through different means: plants synthesize glucose via photosynthesis, while animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms.
Plant Food Production
- The principal food product of photosynthesis in plants is glucose, a simple sugar used for energy.
Animal Respiration
- Animals exhale carbon dioxide generated during cellular respiration, a critical component of the breathing process.
Photosynthesis Overview
- Photosynthesis involves green plants producing their own food, resulting in two main products: glucose and oxygen.
Cellular Respiration
- The equation "Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP" represents the cellular respiration process, converting glucose into energy.
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of cells, essential for fueling various cellular activities.
