Transcript of Cell Processes
AUTOTROPHS
• Living things depend on energy to exist.• Organisms that make the own food are
autotrophs• Plants and some other types of organisms
are able to use the light energy from the sun to produce food. What is the name of the process by which plants make their own food?
Photosynethesis
• The process that coverts inorganic substances, CO2 and H2O, using the sun’s energy into an organic substance called glucose, C6H12O6
Leaf Parts
• Stoma (stomata) – small pores that act as a doorway for gases involved in photosynthesis (found mainly on the underside of leaves).
• Guard Cells – cells that regulate the opening of the stomata.
• Lower and upper epidermis – outer layer of a plant that serves for protection, like skin.
Stoma Open vs. Closed
• Open – with light and when guard cells are filled with water.
• Closed – without light and when guard cells are lacking water (dehydrated).
• Why is it important to have stomata open?
Closed vs. Open
Why is it important to have stomata open? GAS EXCHANGE for photosynthesis!
• When stomata are open gas exchange important for photosynthesis can occur.
• O2 can diffuse out and CO2 can diffuse in.
• Water can evaporate as well (transpiration)

HETEROTROPHS
• Organisms that obtain energy from the foods they consume are called heterotrophs. They cannot make the own food
Cellular Respiration
• Define cellular respiration – A process that releases energy by breaking
down food molecules in the presence of oxygen– Both plant and animal cells must undergo
cellular respiration– Process occurs in the mitochondria
CHEMICAL ENERGY AND ATP
• The activities of the cell are powered by chemical fuels. One of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store energy is Adenine Triphosphate – ATP.
ATP• One glucose molecule breaks down into about 36 ATP
molecules• ATP is a fully charged battery, ready to power the
machinery of the cell.
