Document Summary

Photosynthesis transforms light energy trapped by chloroplasts into chemical bond energy and stores that energy in sugar and other organic molecules. Light energy, photon energy, and kinetic energy is transformed into chemical bond energy, energized electron energy. Shift the positions of the electrons in the opposite direction of cellular respiration. Synthesis of energy-rich organic molecules from energy-poor molecules (co2 and h2o) Uses co2 as a carbon source and light-energy as the energy source. Directly or indirectly supplies energy to most living organisms. >>>>>plants and other autotrophs are the producers of the biosphere. They sustain themselves without eating anything derived from other living beings. Produce their organic molecules from co2 and other inorganic raw materials obtained from the environment. Organisms acquire organic molecules used for energy and carbon skeletons (a. k. a. food) by one of two nutritional modes: autotrophic nutrition, heterotrophic nutrition.
