obtained from the damp soil by a plant's roots
Term
chloroplasts in the cells of the leaves
Definition

uses light energy to rearrange the atoms of co2 anf h2o , which produces

sugars such as glucose, other organic molecules and oxygen

Term
plants and other autotrophs (self- feeders")
Definition
 make their own organic nutrients
Term
heterotrophs (other -feeders)
Definition
are humans n other animals that cannot make organic molecules from inorganic ones
Term
autotrophs are
Definition
producers because ecosystems depand upon them for food
Term
heterotrophs
Definition
are comsumers becasue they eat plants or other animals

take in oxygen gas

release waste carbon dioxide gas

Term
why does electrons transfer to oxygen release energy

when elcetrons  move from glucose to oxygen , it is as though the electrons were falling
Term
photosynthesis are carbon dioxide CO2 
Definition
 a gas that passes from the air into a plant via tiny pores and water , which is absorned from the soil by the plant's roots
Term
chloroplasts in the cells of the leaves use
