Autotrophs (auto = self) use light energy from the sun to produce food—autotrophs (auto = self)Ex: plants and some microorganisms (some bacteria and protists)
• Heterotrophs do NOT use the sun’s energy to make food—heterotrophsEx: animals and most microorganisms
• Cells require a constant source of energy for life processes, but keep only a small amount of ATP on hand.
• Cells can regenerate ATP as needed by using the energy stored in foods…BUT HOW & WHERE DO THEY GET IT?

• Carbohydrates (Sugar/Starches)• Lipids (Fats)• Proteins
Water, vitamins and minerals are NOT a source of energy, BUT are also necessary for an organism to function
Nutrients – substances in food that provides body with raw materials and energy to carry out essential processes
Minerals and Vitamins
These are not food, but are necessary for organisms to carry out biological processes.
Minerals: (not made by living things)Ca (calcium): used for muscle movement, for nerves to carry messages between
the brain and every body part, for structural strength of bones and teethIron: needed by red blood cells to carry oxygen, used by muscles to store oxygen.
Salt (NaCl): needed to help maintain correct fluid levels, transfer information in
muscle and nerve fibers
Vitamins: (made by living things) most vitamins function as catalysts for reactions within the body. Many of the enzymes in your body don’t “work” unless their physical structure is changed by a vitamin
Food’s Pathway to Energy
• Does your body get the same thing from every type of nutrient?
Carbohydrates• Energy rich• C, H, and O• Simple sugars - glucose • Complex carbohydrates – made up of
many simple sugars attached to each other– Starch – potatoes, rice– Cellulose – make up plant cell wallsFound in cell membranes, other cell parts, and
store energy
Lipids (Fats)
• Contain more than 2x the energy of carbohydrates• Store energy• Protect internal organs• Insulate the body
Proteins • For tissue growth and repair (muscle!)• (brain)• Enzymes speed up chemical reactions • Can• be used for energy, but not as typical
Lipid Molecules (Fats)
Protein molecule
Carbohydrate molecule(Sugar)
The Simple Story of How Food Becomes Energy
1.How is the food you just put in your mouth being broken down so your cells can actually use it as energy?
2. Once it is small enough to be used by a cell what happens on the cellular level?
