1 Energy for Life

2 Metabolism The total of all the chemical reactions in an organism

3 The role of enzymes The chemical reaction of metabolism needs enzymes

4 Photosynthesis Plants and many other producers convert light energy into another kind of energy--- chemical energy Producers take light energy to make sugars which they can use as food

5

6 Why are you so green? Producers that use photosynthesis are usually green because they contain a green pigment we call chlorophyll Remember, we found them in the chloroplasts

7 Respiration Chemical reactions that occur that break down food molecules into simpler substances and release their stored energy
