Consumers use oxygen to break down sugar through a process called cellular respiration, which occurs in their cells. Oxygen is used in the mitochondria to convert the sugar into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This ATP is then used by the cells for various metabolic processes to power the organism.

How is lack of oxygen related to lack of energy?

We use oxygen to burn sugar to make ATP energy. ATP is cellular money and without it many processes cannot occur. Depletion in ATP energy can be felt by lack of energy.


What is the process that traps light to make sugar and oxygen called?

The process that traps light to make sugar and oxygen is called photosynthesis. This occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where light energy is converted into chemical energy through a series of reactions involving water and carbon dioxide.


What products does photosynthesis make?
