So far weve talked a lot about CELLS!

ESSENTIAL QUESTION HOW DO ORGANISM GET ENERGY

1. How do organisms get energy?


All organisms need energy! Organisms cells get energy from a molecule called ATP! Organisms have to breakdown food to make energy!
ENERGY!

1. How do organisms get food?


Organisms can either be consumers or producers Consumers have to eat other organisms for food

2. How do organisms get food?


Producers can make their own food Plants are producers because they can make their own food using energy in sunlight in a process called photosynthesis

2. How do organisms get food?


In photosynthesis plants use water and CO2 to make glucose (sugar) and oxygen

2. How do organisms get food?


The chemical equation for photosynthesis:

2. How do organisms get food?


Does photosynthesis happen in Plants? Animals? Both? Does photosynthesis
Use oxygen or make oxygen? Use CO2 or make CO2? Use carbohydrates or make them? Use energy or make energy?

3. How do organisms breakdown food into energy?


All organisms breakdown food into energy using a process called cellular respiration

3. How do organisms breakdown food into energy?


In cellular respiration, organisms use oxygen and glucose (sugar) to make water, CO2, and energy (ATP)!

3. How do organisms breakdown food into energy?


The chemical equation for cellular respiration:

This type of respiration uses oxygen, so it is called aerobic cellular respiration

3. How do organisms breakdown food into energy?

If no oxygen is available, organisms can do a process called anaerobic cellular respiration or fermentation

3. How do organisms breakdown food into energy?


There are two types of fermentation: Lactic acid fermentation used to make yogurt, cheese, and can make your muscles sore!

3. How do organisms breakdown food into energy?


There are two types of fermentation: Alcohol fermentation used to make bread, beer, and wine

3. How do organisms breakdown food into energy?


Does cellular respiration happen in Plants? Animals? Both? Does cellular respiration
Use oxygen or make oxygen? Use CO2 or make CO2? Use carbohydrates or make them? Use energy or make energy?
