Enduring Understanding: Cells perform a variety of functions necessary to maintain homeostasis and life. Autotrophic cells are able to perform photosynthesis and store energy from sunlight. Heterotrohophic cells rely on outside sources of nutrients. Both autotrophs and heterotrophs undergo respiration as the process of releasing energy for the cell.

Essential Questions

1. How are autotrophic and heterotrophic cells alike and different?
2. Describe how photosynthesis is responsible for the growth of a tree.
3. How are photosynthesis and respiration alike and different?
