Cell+Energy



Summary:

Almost all organims need sunlight to survive. The process to get energy requires the use of multiple organelles. Plant cells use photosynthesis to get food from sunlight. Animal cells get energy from food. There are two ways to break down food molecules in order to release stored energy. One way is called cellular respiration and uses oxygen. The other does not use oxygen and is called fermentation.

These pictures represent cellular respiration and photosynthesis:

This is a helpful rap about the process of photosynthesis:
