The main form of energy is ATP.

Cells release energy by breaking the

bonds in ATP.
Photosynthesis is the process of plants using the energ
the sun to convert water and CO2 into oxygen and gluc

C6H120O6.

Plants obtain CO2 from the air or water.

Plants catch the energy of the sun through

chloroplasts. .

Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by

breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the
presence of oxygen.
36 ATP for every glucose molecule.
