Additional information:

Plant cell Animal cell


Chloroplasts and chlorophyll
- Chloroplasts are inside the plant cell
- Chloroplasts contains chlorophyll
- Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight which helps
the water and CO2 to react together

- Warm, sunny days – plants make more carbohydrates


and store the excess
- Excess carbohydrates – stored as starch
- Store starch inside the chloroplasts
- Night time or less sunny – use stored starch

Fossil Fuels and Combustion
• When organisms die
• Not always broken
down by decomposers
• Some bodies fall into
places where there is
no oxygen
• Gradually buried
• High pressure and
heat  fossil fuel
Oil and
Natural gas
o Formed when
tiny marine
organisms die
and fell to the
seabed

o Oil rig pipes go

o Formed from remains of
plants that grew in huge
swamps
o Buried over millions of years
o Dug out from the ground
o Common uses: cooking,
