Obtaining and using energy
Autotroph : organisms that make their own food
Heterotroph : organisms that obtain energy from the foods they consume

Heterotrophs :
Autotrophs use energy for photosynthesis, making food, and chemosynthesis.
Heterotrophs use energy for growth, maintaining homeostasis, and reproducing.

ADP is like an almost empty battery and ATP is like a fully charged battery. ATP is the preferred energy source because there's more energy being stored which means more energy is able to be used.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process in which autotrophs use to produce glucose and oxygen from the sun.
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that occurs in the chloroplasts of photosynthetic organisms like plants. Within the chloroplast there are 2 stages called the Krebs Cycle and Calvin Cycle. The Krebs cycle occurs in the thylokoids while the calvin cycle occurs in the stroma. The reactants of photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. The products are glucose and oxygen. Autotrophic organisms can use this process to make their own food.

Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is a process that heterotrophic organisms use to break down food and get energy.
Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction. It is very vital to heterotrophic organisms because they consume food, not make it. Cellular Respiration uses the products of photosynthesis as its reactants. It also uses the reactants of photosynthesis as its produts and releases ATP. The three main stages are gycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.
