3.  chemical processes that occur in living things.  Some examples of biochemical processes are:  DIGESTION (Hydrolysis)  SYNTHESIS of hormones, antibodies, and enzymes  NEUTRALIZATION reactions

4.  ENERGY  RAW MATERIALS

5.  PHOTOSYNTHESIS  CELLULAR RESPIRATION

6. The process by which autotrophs store the Sun’s energy in ORGANIC molecules such as carbohydrates.

7.  The process by which the ENERGY stored in FOOD (nutrients) is RELEASED for cells to use.

8.  AUTOTROPHS –organisms such as grass, algae, and trees (plants).

9.  ALL LIVING THINGS!!

10.  SUN!!!  Plants use the sun’s energy to carry on PHOTOSYNTHESIS, thereby making ENERGY.

11. Chloroplasts have an OVAL shape.

12. …Water and Carbon Dioxide into ORGANIC substances such as GLUCOSE.

13. CO2 + H2O ------light & chlorophyll-----  C6H12O6 + O2

14.  Generate ATP  Build more complex molecules such as:  starch  proteins  fats

15.  ATP!  What process releases ATP molecules?

16.  OBTAINING materials  TRANSPORTING materials  Eliminating WASTES

17.  The transfer of energy from GLUCOSE to ATP is essential to organisms.  All organisms use organic FOOD molecules to supply the ATP ENERGY they need to live.

18. GLUCOSE is a SIMPLE SUGAR and is the starting point for many other molecules used by living things. Some COMPLEX molecules and their functions are listed below: ATP –Supplies ENERGY for the cell to run on DNA – COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES – LIPIDS (fats & oils) – PROTEIN -

19. GLUCOSE is a SIMPLE SUGAR and is the starting point for many other molecules used by living things. Some COMPLEX molecules and their functions are listed below: ATP –Supplies ENERGY for the cell to run on DNA –Carries hereditary (genetic) information CARBOHYDRATES – LIPIDS (fats & oils) – PROTEIN -

20. GLUCOSE is a SIMPLE SUGAR and is the starting point for many other molecules used by living things. Some COMPLEX molecules and their functions are listed below: ATP –Supplies ENERGY for the cell to run on DNA –Carries hereditary (genetic) information CARBOHYDRATES – Acts as a food reserve molecule (energy) LIPIDS (fats & oils) – PROTEIN -

21. GLUCOSE is a SIMPLE SUGAR and is the starting point for many other molecules used by living things. Some COMPLEX molecules and their functions are listed below: ATP –Supplies ENERGY for the cell to run on DNA –Carries hereditary (genetic) information CARBOHYDRATES – Acts as a food reserve molecule (energy) LIPIDS (fats & oils) – Acts a food reserve molecule (energy) PROTEIN -

22. GLUCOSE is a SIMPLE SUGAR and is the starting point for many other molecules used by living things. Some COMPLEX molecules and their functions are listed below: ATP –Supplies ENERGY for the cell to run on DNA –Carries hereditary (genetic) information CARBOHYDRATES – Acts as a food reserve molecule (energy) LIPIDS (fats & oils) – Acts a food reserve molecule (energy) PROTEIN – Makes up enzymes and cell parts

23.  For example, plants store most of the glucose they produce by photosynthesis as STARCH.

24. DIGEST the COMPLEX molecules into SIMPLER molecules for their own cells to USE.
