19. Environmental Impacts Atmosphere Sunlight Some heat energy escapes into space Radiant heat trapped by CO 2 and other gases

20. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration provide energy for life – Photosynthesis uses solar energy to produce glucose and O 2 from CO 2 and H 2 O – Cellular respiration makes ATP and consumes O 2 during the oxidation of glucose to CO 2 and H 2 O CO 2 H2OH2O Glucose O2O2 ATP ECOSYSTEM Sunlight energy Photosynthesis in chloroplasts Cellular respiration in mitochondria (for cellular work) Heat energy   Figure 6.1
