Photosynthesis

Energy in Living Things

Copy the graphic and words below from textbook page 119. (Copy the questions and answer them or present the complete idea in one sentence.) 1. Where does the energy needed by most living things come from? 2. How does sunlight provide food for the zebra? 3. How does energy flow through living things? 4. What process captures energy in sunlight autotrophs? 5. How does energy flow from the sun to heterotrophs? 6. If auto means “self” and “troph” means feeding, what does autotroph mean?

A close examination of the eggs revealed that some of the algae were living within the embryos themselves, and in some cases were actually [|inside embryonic cells]. That suggested the embryos weren’t just taking oxygen from the algae: they might be taking glucose too.
