The World of Cells
1
Energy and the Cell
• Cells, except bacteria, have organelles called
mitochondria (mi tuh KAHN dree uh).
• An important process called cellular
respiration takes place inside a mitochondrion.

Energy and the Cell
• Cellular respiration is a series of chemical
reactions in which energy stored in food is
converted to a form of energy that the cell
can use.
The World of Cells
1
Energy and the Cell
• This energy is released as food and oxygen
combine.
• Waste products of this process are carbon
dioxide and water.

Nature's Solar Energy Factories
• Animals obtain food
from their surroundings.
• Plants, algae, and many
types of bacteria make
food through a process
called photosynthesis
(foh toh SIHN thuh sus).
The World of Cells

Nature's Solar Energy Factories
• Most photosynthesis
in plants occurs in leaf
cells.
• Inside these cells are
green organelles called
chloroplasts (KLOR uh
plats).
The World of Cells

Nature's Solar Energy Factories
• During plant photosynthesis chloroplasts
capture light energy and combine carbon
dioxide from the air with water to make food.
• As the plant needs energy,
its mitochondria release
the food's energy.

• Students will categorize information about both
processes using cutout info and blank title papers
• After they are checked for correctness, they will record
info on notes
