1. The fuel of all Ecosystems is…
THE SUN!!

2. Photosynthesis
Sunlight energy is taken in by plants along with carbon dioxide and water, and converted into oxygen, and glucose
Glucose is chemical energy we use as our fuel

3. Cellular Respiration
Organisms use glucose for fuel and oxygen to breath
We change this into carbon dioxide and water

4. You can’t have one without the other
They work together!
You can’t have one without the other
Photosynthesis:
Sun energy + CO2 + H2O  O2 + glucose
Cellular Respiration:
Glucose + O2  CO2 + H2O + energy
