Trace back to its source the energy used by all living things is the Sun  only Plants algae and some single-celled organisms have the ability to carry out photosynthesis  why would just call them autotroph their self feeders Organisms that cannot go to Center McCall's real Pro human beings are heterotrophs as are all other animals many single celled organisms the harvesting of light from the sun through photosynthesis is a complicated chemical but many stages but essentially what occurs in the light provides the energy to convert water and carbon dioxide from the air did the glucose and oxygen sugar plants use as a source of energy  go to this is actually occurs in the leaves of plants inside the leaves are cells with organelles called chloroplasts and inside the chloroplasts are flattened sacs call turquoise  within the thylakoids are clusters of chlorophyll molecules called photosynthesis photons of light are absorbed by these arrays of molecules for electrons from the chlorophyll are boosted to an excited state can you leave the molecule to replace these missing electrons two molecules of water are broken heart resulting in for hydrogen oxygen molecule which is really the atmosphere  virtually all of the oxygen in our air has been created in this way meanwhile the for energized electrons from the chlorophyll pass through a system of electron carriers call an electron transport chain has electrons are passed from one compound to the next in the chain the release energy is captured by Amazon convert ADP to ATP coenzyme such as nadp plus tractors electron carriers also cyst synthesis of ATP synthesis  the next part of the pros call The Calvin Benson cycle is carried out by enzymes located in the stroma of the chloroplast and doesn't require any light in this turn all the ATP generated in the first half of photosynthesis is used to build organic molecules of glucose from atmospheric carbon dioxide this group coaches the final product of photosynthesis to the energy and store the rest when herbivores eat they consumed the glucose stored in the cells of the plants by breaking down glucose herbivorous convert ADP to ATP in this is the source of the energy that they need to survive humans carnivores but never your photosynthesis indirectly when they eat animals that have implants in that way all animals are dependent on photosynthesis Resource Temp energy
