*******************************************************************************************************************
REMEMBER: Living things must be able to acquire and use energy.
Autotrophs are able to make their own energy (food) in the form of glucose. Most do this through a process called photosynthesis where light energy from the sun is converted into chemical fuel (glucose). This process is done in the chloroplast. Remember also that not all autotrophs use photosynthesis - some use chemosynthesis, where, instead of light energy being converted, chemical compounds are converted into usable energy. They won’t have chloroplasts - it’s done in the cytoplasm.
Heterotrophs must consume other organisms in order to meet their energy demands. They take the compounds (mainly carbohydrates) in other organisms and break them down into glucose that will later be converted into usable energy.
Both autotrophs and heterotrophs must then take that glucose and convert it into ATP for the cell to use. This process is done in the mitochondria via the process of cellular respiration. It requires oxygen in order to work. In the event oxygen is not available, a back-up process called fermentation is employed until oxygen is restored.
