24.1
A Strategy for Life
Air is composed mainly of nitrogen
(N2) and oxygen (O2). It is thought
that Earth’s crust changed over
time as a result of photosynthesis,
a process carried out by green
organisms such as these
cyanobacteria. You will learn about
the characteristics of living things,
including the organisms in which
photosynthesis occurs.

The Structure of Cells
Two major cell types occur in
nature: the cells of bacteria, known
as prokaryotic cells, and the cells of
all other organisms, known as
eukaryotic cells.

The Energy and Carbon Cycle
Within the chloroplast is a light-capturing system
that converts light energy into chemical energy
by a process called photosynthesis.

The Energy and Carbon Cycle
Photosynthesis uses the energy from
sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to
compounds that contain C—H bonds,
mainly in the form of glucose (C6H12O6).

The Energy and Carbon Cycle
Both plants and animals get energy by
unleashing the energy stored in the chemical
bonds of carbon compounds. The nutrients are
oxidized back to carbon dioxide and water in the
process.
