Cornell Notes
Essential Question: Investigate the molecular pathway through which light energy is transferred to
chemical energy and dispersed throughout an ecosystem
Questions:
What is
carbon?
What are
autotrophs
and
heterotrophs?
How do
autotrophs
make energy?
How do
heterotrophs
make energy?
What is ATP?

Notes:
Major makeup of most things
Cycles through ecosystem and is recycled (carbon
cycle)
Autotroph a self-feeding organism
Heterotroph receives energy/food from other
organisms
Through photosynthesis
Turn the energy from the Sun with the addition of
CO2, making glucose and oxygen.
Through cellular respiration
Uses the energy from the glucose made by
autotrophs, which leads to them emitting CO2 as a
waste product & using ATP as energy.

Adenosine Triphosphate
Stores Energy
Consists of 3 phosphate group, ribose & adenine
ATP is like a battery because it gives us energy.
