LIFE DEPENDS ON THE SUN
• PHOTOSYNTHESIS:
• Is a process used by plants and other organisms to use light energy usually the sun , to make sugar molecules.
• The result of photosynthesis is sugar which is called
CARBOHYDRATES

PRODUCERS, CONSUMERS,
DECOMPOSERS
• Producers: is an organism that makes its own food.
• Consumers: is organisms that get their energy by eating other organisms. • Decomposers: there organisms that get there food by breaking down organisms.

• Cellular Respiration: The process of breaking down food to yield energy.
• Cellular Respiration occurs inside the cells of most organisms.
• During Cellular
Respiration, cells absorb oxygen and use it to release energy from food.

HOW DOES ENERGY
TRANSFER?
• Energy is being transfer when an organisms eats another organisms

FOOD CHAIN
• A food chain is a sequence in which energy is transferred from one organisms to the next as each organisms eats another organism.

FOOD WEB
• A food web shows many feeding relationships that are possible in the
ecosystem.
