Study Notes
Cellular Energy
- Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy from glucose in cells.
Photosynthesis
- The chemical reaction that enables plants to build larger molecules such as glucose is photosynthesis.
Biomolecules
- The primary material living things are made of is organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Photosynthetic Organelles
- Most photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, which are organelles found in plant cells.
Energy Source
- The main source of energy for the process of building biomass in plant cells is light energy from the sun, which is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
