Free Energy Capture and
Storage
Paul Andersen details the processes of photosynthesis and respiration in this video on free energy capture and storage. Autotrophs use the light reactions and the
Calvin cycle to convert energy from the Sun into sugars. Autotrophs and heterotrophs use cellular respiration to convert this sugar into
ATP. Both chemosynthesis and fermentation are discussed. The evolution of photosynthesis is also discussed.
