    Humans have to consume other organisms as a source of energy and nutrients.\u00a0 We’re going to focus first on how cells convert sugar molecules into usable energy.<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    In the process of photosynthesis, plants, algae, and some bacteria can convert carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight into sugar and oxygen.\u00a0 This primarily occurs in plant (or algae) chloroplast organelles.<\/p>\n

    They immediately use some of that sugar and oxygen to power cellular activity in the process of cellular respiration.\u00a0 This occurs in the mitochondria organelles.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Fortunately for us, plants (plus algae, and some bacteria) produce excess oxygen and have sugar in their bodies that we are able to consume.<\/p>\n

    Our own mitochondria also carry out cellular respiration; converting sugar and oxygen into usable ATP energy.\u00a0 Water that is produced is recycled by the cell for other uses.\u00a0 And carbon dioxide that is produced has to be eliminated by the body.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
