Summary 1 ' Section 1 ' 94-96
Vocabulary:
'Photosynthesis - is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
'Autotrophs - an organism that produces it's own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms.
'Heterotrophs - an organism that obtains organic good molecules by eating other organisms or their by products and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials.
' Cellular respiration - the process by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates; atmospheric oxygen combines with glucose to form water and carbon dioxide.
Summary:
Metabolism involves either using energy to build molecules or breaking down molecules in which energy is stored. Most autotrophs like plants are photosynthetic organisms. Some autotrophs use chemical energy from inorganic substances to make organic compounds. Prokaryotes found near deep-sea volcanic vents live in darkness. They however use chemicals flowing out of vents to get energy.
The chemical energy in Organic compounds can be transferred to other organic compounds or to organisms that consume food. Heterotrophs including humans get energy from good through the prices of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration releases energy in food to make ATP. This ATP provides cells ...
Frog is the common name for a species of amphibian that also includes toads. A very common question is 'whats the difference between and toads?' , the answer: none, except for the fact that toads lack the powerful legs that have. 'Where can and toads be found?', one might ask. They live in all parts of the world, except for Antarctica, but ar...
Most of the world's electricity is generated by either thermal or hydroelectric power plants. Thermal power plants use fuel to boil water which makes steam. The steam turns turbines that generate electricity. Hydroelectric power plants use the great force of rushing water from a dam or a waterfall to turn the turbines. The majority of thermal po...

s (The ? Grand Performance! Life story BBC) The male s make a bower and call the females. Once the female gets in the male bird wants her, he begins the show. First, he expands his pupils then he starts to do a weird and wheezy call from deep in his neck. For his grand performance, he waves his wing like a matador?s cape then he gives a few head...
are large molecules composed of smaller molecules called monomers. Monomers are produced and either grow together or are assembled to produce a single polymer. There are synthetic and natural . Some examples of natural would be wood, starches, fingernails, and hair. Synthetic are usually referred to as plastics. Petroleum is the primary mono...
