Photosynthesis

Cell energy is the subject containing information on Photosynthesis and Respiration that helps our body and the bodies of other living things to create energy and food for the world and it's beings.

Photosynthesis requires the following:

Carbon Dioxide Carbon Dioxide is one of the ingredients that a plant uses to create glucose. It comes from all the animals including us (it's what we exhale). The carbon dioxide is the base part of the process of photosynthesis. Carbon Dioxide's formula is CO2. The picture next to this information is a picture of a CO2 cell. carbon dioxide cell

Water Water is the other ingredient that is used in all plants in photosynthesis. It is what they drink to build nutrients for the plant. H2O is the formula for water. The water interacts with the other ingredients to mix and make glucose. h2o

Sunlight Sunlight is the main part of the process, with it the plants catch it with their chloroplasts and use the energy to break apart the parts of a cell they need to work with. The sunlight is what is trapped in the chloroplasts by chlorophyll. Without sunlight, the plants would not give of oxygen. sun

Chlorophyll Chlorophyll is the chemical in chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are cells inside plants. The chlorophyll in plants catch the sunlight and use them to break up the other cell to use the products needed to make glucose.

The end products are

Glucose Glucose is the food that plants made from photosynthesis. This is the only food they ever eat. The plants use this as their food source to make energy. This energy is what they use to keep the flow of the process going in their bodies so they can eat and eat over again. glucose cell

Oxygen Oxygen is the waste product of the process that plants do and they give off to let you breathe. It is what we use to also make our own energy which in turn helps plants to also make their energy in a cycle. oxygen cells

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight and Chlorophyll = Glucose and Oxygen
6CO2 + H2O + Sunlight and Chlorophyll = C6H12O6 + 6O2

Because oxygen is given off as a waste product, you might think that plants do not require it. Not so. Just as do almost all other living things, green plants need oxygen tin order to release the energy in food. You will read about how organisms use oxygen in the next section of this chapter.

Autotrophs Vs Heterotrophs

Autotrophs	Heterotrophs
Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food.	Heterotrophs are organisms that eat other organsims to obtain energy.

Cell Respiration

Cell Respiration is the process by which simple food substances such as glucose are broken down, and the energy they contain is released. Celluar Respiration is done in the Mitochondria (the power house of cells) and is released into the cell into our body. Food is vital to this process to keep the body going with energy.

Cellular Respiration requires the following:

Glucose Glucose is the food that plants made from photosynthesis. This is the only food they ever eat. The plants use this as their food source to make energy. This energy is what they use to keep the flow of the process going in their bodies so they can eat and eat over again. In this process, it is broken down to make the term called ATP (energy). sugar

Oxygen Oxygen is the waste product of the process that plants do and they give off to let you breathe. It is what we use to also make our own energy which in turn helps plants to also make their energy in a cycle. In this process it is used for a human's energy. oxygen cell

The products of cellular respiration are:

Carbon Dioxide Carbon Dioxide is one of the ingredients that a plant uses to create glucose. It comes from all the animals including us (it's what we exhale). The carbon dioxide is the base part of the process of photosynthesis. Carbon Dioxide's formula is CO2. The picture next to this information is a picture of a CO2 as part of the air.

Water Water is the other ingredient that is used in all plants in photosynthesis. It is what they drink to build nutrients for the plant. H2O is the formula for water. The process in which we are now is how it is used in us, we use water for just about every thing because our body is mostly made of it.
