Chapter 8: Cellular Energy
Key Concept:
Cellular energy is an encompassing concept in all of science. As autotrophs capture the suns energy through the process of photosynthesis, carbon (from CO2) and water are converted into a usable form of energy known as a sugar. Then plants and heterotrophs must break down the sugars to release energy trapped in the bonds of the macromolecule. This energy is released through a process known as cellular respiration.
Critical Vocabulary Terms:
Adenosine Triphsophate (ATP)
Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis
Thylakoid
Aerobic Respiration
Anerobic Respiration
Glycolysis
Fermentation
