chapter- The cell in action section 2 Section headers- From sun to cell, Getting Energy from food, Photosynthesis and Respiration: What's the connection

Vocabulary: Photosynthesis- process of capturing light energy and changeing it in to food. Cellular Respiration- Process of making and storing energy using oxygen Fermentation- Process of making and storing energy without using oxygen.

Notes/ important ideas Yeast cells make carbon dioxide and alcohol during fermentation of sugar. Carbon dioxide causes bubbles to form in bread. Glucose+oxygen= carbon dioxide+water+energy(ATP) Light energy to chloroplast to mitochondria to ATP

Summary- Most energy that fuels life comes from the sun. Plants can capture light energy from the sunand make it into food by a process called photosynthesis. The food we eat has to be broken down so that the energy it contains can be converted into a form our cells can use. They can do it in two ways, cellular respiration and fermentation. One uses oxygen and the other way makes ATP from partical breakdownof glucose.
