Question

tosynthesis & Respiration In Autotrophsstotrophs store energy from the SUN in glucose during photosynthesis which happens in the organelle calledde chloroplast. Then they convert the glucose to ATP during respiration which happens in the organelle calledthe mitochondria.SUN'sEnergyPhotosynthesisRespirationGLUCOSECarbohydrate,Sugar)ATPUsableEnergy)Respiration In HeterotrophsHeterotrophs cannot carry out photosynthesis. Therefore they have to eat (consume) their food and then digestit (break it into small pieces) to get the glucose. After they eat the glucose, they convert (change) it to ATPduring respiration in the mitochondria - just like the autotrophs.FOOD Consume & Digestion GLUCOSE Respiration(CarbohydrateUsable >Sugar)Energy)ATP4. What similarities do you see between respiration in autotrophs & heterotrophs?5. What differences do you see between respiration in autotrophs & heterotrophs?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy. Though cellular respiration, the energy van later be released to fuel the activities of the organism.

Cellular respiration is a metabolic reaction that occur in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from O2 molecules or nutrients into ATP then release waste products.

4. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all living things. It occurs in the cells of both autotrophs and heterotrophs. All of them burn glucose to form ATP.

5. Autotrophs can make their own food from substances from their surrounding using photosynthesis. It can manufacture energy from the sun. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organisms for nutrition. It must rely on other organisms for energy.
