Adenosine triphosphate atp
Compound used by cells to store and release energy
Heterotrophs
Organism that obtains food by consuming other living things: also called a consumer
Photosynthesis
Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy rich carbohydrates
Calorie

Cellular respiration- t
he process that release energy from food in the presence of oxygen
Aerobic-
process that requires oxygen
Anaerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
Cell respiration
C6h12o6+6o2 ➡️6co2 +6h2o + energy
Chemical formula photosynthesis
