    Photosynthesis is a complex process that uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates like glucose. There are two main types of organisms: heterotrophs, which cannot synthesize their own food and depend on other organisms, and autotrophs, which can synthesize their own food. Autotrophs include photoautotrophs like plants that use light energy for synthesis and chemoautotrophs like some bacteria that use inorganic substances from their environment without light.

    carbohydrates
    Organisms
    Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and
    depend on plants or other organisms
    *consumers
    1.macroconsumers
    -carnivores,omnivores,insectivores
    2. microconsumers
    Autotrophs
    -synthesize their own food
    - 2 types:
    1. photoautotrophs
    -utilize light energy to synthesize
    organic molecules
    -green plants, purple bacteria
    2. chemoautotrophs
    -synthesize organic substances
    from inorganic substances in their
    environment and are not
    dependent on light energy
    -some bacteria
    Raw materials for photosynthesis:
    1. CO2
    2. H20

    Product: glucose
    By-products: O2 and H20
