What Are Autotrophs?
Why do we depend on plants? They make food! We CANNOT make our own food Thankfully, plants produce glucose -- a food source for all heterotrophs! different, other = _____ feed troph = _____ hetero
What Are Heterotrophs?
How We See Color Sunlight is made up of ALL colors together (wavelengths). Pigments reflect the wavelength of color that we see and absorb the other colors.
Why are plants green? Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chlorophyll A is the most important pigment in plants – responsible for the green color. It reflects green and absorbs other wavelengths. That means chlorophyll absorbs a lot more light than it reflects, which is a good thing!
Why do leaves change color in the fall? Why use just one wavelength of light when you can have more? Accessory pigments absorb green and reflect other colors (e. g. , red, yellow, or orange) In autumn, leaves stop producing new chlorophyll A, which lets the accessory pigments show through
Photosynthesis Photosynthesis harnesses the sun’s energy and stores it as chemical energy in carbohydrates. Takes place in chloroplasts. Light energy (wavelengths) are absorbed by the pigment chlorophyll.

Photosynthesis Equation Energy + 6 H 2 O + 6 CO 2 Sunlight + Water + Carbon Dioxide C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 Glucose + Oxygen
How Plants Store Energy When chlorophyll absorbs light, it splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, and puts electrons into an excited state (they have extra energy) As the electrons leave the excited state, they release energy and heat The cell converts the energy into ATP and NADPH for storage
