Heterotrophs
Obtain energy, nutrients, and carbon atoms from other organisms. Living or dead
Ex: . Heterotrophs cannot synthesize organic carbon-based compounds
Autotrophs
Organisms that obtain energy and nutrients from non living sources such as sun, minerals, and the air.
Ex: plants and certain bacteria. Autotrophs use light for energy.
Photoautotrophs
Organisms that takes energy from light and forms it's own organic compounds from abiotic carbon sources and water. Use photosynthesis
Ex: plants. Photoautotrophs use sunlight to get energy.
Chemoautotrophs
Obtain fee energy from inorganic chemicals in the environment. Use chemosynthesis to capture energy stored as chemical energy, used for cellular work.
Ex: bacteria. They use chemical energy rather than solar.

H
Consumers
Heterotrophs that consume plants and other organisms for food
Ex: animals. Animals consume plants as their food.

Abiotic
Non living factors in a food web
Ex: soil, minerals, water, and weather. The food web depend on the abiotic factors.
Ecosystem
Made up of biotic and abiotic components that has many habitats, where there are particular places for every organism to live

Habitats
Places where particular organisms live
Ex: pond. A dog and a dolphin live in very different habitats.
Biosphere
Made up of all ecosystems
Ex: coral reefs, marshes, deserts, and forest. These are examples of biospheres.
Energy
Key to maintaining organization in all living systems
Ex: light. Energy comes in many different ways.
Chemical energy
Energy stored in the structure of molecules
Ex: natural gases. Chemical energy is stored in chemicals.
Free energy
Energy that is able to do work
Ex: thermodynamic. Free energy is a broad type of energy.
Heat energy
Energy that makes particles and molecules move faster increasing its it's energy of motion
Ex: sun. Anything that gives off heat is heat energy.
First Law of Thermodynamics
Stated that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change form
Ex: pendulum. The energy of the universe is a constant.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
States that energy transfers and transformations increase entropy of the universe
Ex: entropy. Organisms are disorganized.
Entropy
The disorder of a system or organism and it's surroundings
Ex: soda pop fizzing. My room being very messy and out of order is entropy.
Enzymes
Proteins that lower the activation energy required to make a reaction proceed
Ex: proteins. Enzymes are also called proteins which are in many things.
Actives site
Small area of the tertiary structure that has the exact shape of starting molecule or molecules
Ex: substrate molecules combining. Active site is a place on the tertiary structure.
Substrate
The close fit between the starting molecule and active site
Ex: enzyme. A substrate is an enzyme.
Metabolism
Consists of all chemical activities and changes that take place in a color an organism
Ex: synthesis and decomposition. Decomposition are the breaking down reactions of metabolism.
Synthesis
"Building up" reactions of metabolism. Type of metabolism. Includes biosynthesis.
Ex: formation of glucose. Synthesis includes biosynthesis
Decomposition
"Breaking down" reaction of metabolism, larger molecules break down into smaller molecules
Ex: glycogen into glucose. Almost all reactions of decomposition involve enzymes.

Biosynthesis
Forms larger, more complex biomolecules from smaller and less complex ones. Build proteins from amino acids, and build tissue from protein.
Ex: DNA from nucleotides. Biosynthesis can make blood and muscle from proteins.
Oxidation
Process of decomposition, removal of electrons from a molecule, certain bonds are broken and rearranged, some of the energy released as heat or free energy.
Ex: ATP. Oxidation is a process of decomposition
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate. Compound that has three phosphate groups and a adenine and ribose, used by cells to store energy and to fuel many metabolic processes, drives reactions of biosynthesis, makes it a useful energy-transfer molecule in cells
Ex: Nucleotide. ATP is a nucleotide.

Small intestines
Further digestion breaks down polypeptides into amino acids. Pancreatic juice enters the intestine and shifts the pH from acidic to basic so it able those polypeptides
Ex: trypsin. Trypsin breaks down the polypeptides in the small intestines.
Salivary amylase
Enzyme in saliva that begins digestion of starch, converts starch into disaccharides
Ex: starch. Salivary amylase converts starch into disaccharides.
Lipase
