Front

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are Autotrophs?

Back

Organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

Front

What are Heterotrophs?

Back

Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy.
