2. Starch molecule Glucose molecule The chemical energy used for most cell processes is carried by ATP. Molecules in food store chemical energy in their bonds.
10. KEY CONCEPTThe overall process of photosynthesis produces sugars that store chemical energy.
11. Photosynthetic organisms are producers. Producers make their own source of chemical energy. Plants use photosynthesis and are producers. Photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to make sugars.
33. mitochondrion animal cell Cellular respiration makes ATP by breaking down sugars. Cellular respiration is aerobic, or requires oxygen. Aerobic stages take place in mitochondria.
