Light energy

• comes directly from the sun
• Type of energy that most living things use to function
• needed by humans to fuel cell processes

ATP energy

• Type of energy that most living things survive on
• A greenhouse gas that can trap heat
• comes directly from the sun
• Something harmful to living things

Reactant

• Something created by a process
• Something that moves out of the way
• Something that "kick starts" a process

Product

• Something created by a process
