Unit 6: Cell Energetics

in the presence of oxygen

aerobic
no oxygen is present

anaerobic
Usable energy for the cell. When a
phosphate group is removed from ATP,
energy is released.
ATP
makes its own food; also called a
PRODUCER

autotroph
the process that converts chemical
energy from food into USABLE ENERGY
(ATP) for life processes. Nearly all
living things carry out cellular
cellular respiration respiration.

C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H2O + ATP

main pigment of plants (green) that
absorbs sunlight
chlorophyll
organelle where photosynthesis occurs

chloroplast
organism that obtains food by
consuming other living things; also
called a CONSUMER
heterotroph
 compounds that do not contain both
hydrogen (H) and carbon (C)
inorganic
organelle where cellular respiration
occurs
mitochondria
compounds that contain both
hydrogen (H) and carbon (C)
organic
plants use the energy of sunlight to
convert water and carbon dioxide into
glucose and oxygen
