All plants and algae, some bacteria

Where does energy usually come from?

Chloroplasts

Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + water + 'energy'  

Glucose + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + 'energy'  

What do we use this energy for?

Mitochondria - Where metabolism happens

Summarize today's knowledge

We are going to draw the pathway of glucose.  

Show the way from plant  -->  your body (metabolism).
This drawing includes the words: 

Photosynthesis - Chloroplast - Decomposition - mitochondria  - glucose - metabolism

HINT: start by drawing the sun, a leaf and a person

Work in groups of 2-3, you are allowed to discuss calmly for 10 mins 

Done? start on your homework
