However, conceptually it will be a little easier because the concepts learned in Chapter 9?namely, chemiosmosis and an electron transport system?will play a central role in photosynthesis. 1. As a review, define the terms autotroph and heterotroph. Keep in mind that plants have mitochondria and chloroplasts and do both cellular respiration and photosynthesis! Autotroph: An organism that obtains organic food molecules without eating other organisms or substances derived from other organisms. Autotrophs use energy from the sun or from oxidation of

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are key ecological concepts involved with energy flow. Use Figure 9.2 to label the missing parts below. See page 163 of your text for labeled figure. Concept 9.1 Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels 1. Explain the difference between fermentation and cellular respiration. Fermentation is a partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuel that occurs without the use of oxygen.
