Define autotrophs.

Back

Organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

Front

Define heterotrophs.

Back

Front

What is the role of producers in an ecosystem?

Back

Producers convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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