What kind of energy do living things need

What kind of energy do living things need & use?

Winds can blow our houses down, but WIND power is not the human body’s energy currency.

Living things are not NUCLEAR powered…

Living things are not NUCLEAR powered…unless you’re IRON MAN

We don’t eat COAL. well, this one does.

Solar power may help us get energy for our homes…

But humans aren’t powered by photovoltaic cells…yet.

Although, SUNLIGHT does give HUMAN BODIES 1 nutrient: VITAMIN D! • LOW LEVELS of sunlight exposure and vitamin D are possible triggers for multiple sclerosis.

And what about THESE living things? Plants and phytoplankton…do they run on solar power? ? ?

Plants & phytoplankton get their energy START from the sun!

BUT it’s CHEMISTRY that PLANTS & PHYTOPLANKTON use to turn small, simple water & carbon dioxide molecules & MAKE , complex SUGAR molecule!

BUT it’s CHEMISTRY that PLANTS & PHYTOPLANKTON use to turn small, simple water & carbon dioxide molecules & MAKE , complex SUGAR molecule! They MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD through the PHOTOSYNTHESIS reaction…we call them PRODUCERS…aka _____TROPHS

BUT it’s CHEMISTRY that PLANTS & PHYTOPLANKTON use to turn small, simple water & carbon dioxide molecules & MAKE , complex SUGAR molecule! AUTOMATICALLY! They MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD through the PHOTOSYNTHESIS reaction…we call them PRODUCERS…aka _AUTOTROPHS

We animals don’t make food AUTOmatically. . Man, I wish I were green like a plant

Without chemistry, we ALL wouldn’t have food to eat!

Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have food to eat!

Even if we WERE green, we can’t sit out in the sun & photosynthesize like plants and phytoplankton… Pepe is sad because he can’t photosynthesize like producers, he’s missing the essential catalyst for photosynthesis:

Most living things must INGEST matter to convert food into CHEMICAL ENERGY! Pepe digs Mc. Donald’s fries to fuel his chemical energy factory.

We are mostly CHNOPS Can you remember the 6 atoms that make up MOST of us?

Look at YOU! You EAT all these elements every day for GROWTH & ENERGY!?

We are what we eat! what other trace (3%) elements does our body need?

Remember when we identified all the elements we drink in a BOOST energy drink?

We are matter! sodiu m c ium cal p o t a s s i u m pho sph oro u s iodi ne

Of course, practically all these atoms are combined in our bodies as M_ _ _ _ _.

Of course, practically all these atoms are combined in our bodies as MOLECULES. And MOST of these MOLECULES are made of MORE than 1 TYPE of atom/element…so most are also known as C _ _ _ _ _!

Of course, practically all these atoms are combined in our bodies as MOLECULES. And MOST of these MOLECULES are made of MORE than 1 TYPE of atom/element…so most are also known as COMPOUNDS!

Can you name the number 1 compound molecule in our body? https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v =u. OUVE 5 r. Gmh. M
