Sara has just given birth to a baby and she is exhausted. Her friend is studying biology and evaluating the process of photosynthesis. Sara decides to take the baby out of her in the sun, instead of giving her milk, alluding that the baby can get energy from sunlight. Is this a good idea? Why can't the baby use solar energy to make ATP? Do not forget to include the organelles and processes necessary for the production of ATP and to identify Sara's baby as autotrophic or heterotrophic. In your response, she answers the following questions. What are the differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? Why can't humans process solar energy and convert it into chemical energy?

Answer:
first ket sara live, she is in delicate state, she may die
Answer:
No, it is not a good idea to to take the baby out into the sun instead of giving it milk.
Explanation:
The human body is organized in such a way that cells rather break down food to form energy for different bodily functions.
Although human cells can absorb light energy and transform them to chemical energy, the amount of energy required by the human body is huge and cannot be satisfied by the process of photosynthesis alone, hence our body uses digestion to acquire energy.
So we can conclude that Sara's baby is a heterotroph who follows a heterotrophic mode of nutrition considering the baby is a human.
Process for the production of ATP
ATP is mainly broken down to obtain energy and is constantly formed by ADP through the process of cellular respiration.
ATP cells are commonly produced by an enzyme known as ATP synthase. This process happens in the mitochondria of the cells which is the reason they are known as powerhouses of the cell.
When energy is needed by the cell, it is converted from storage molecules into ATP. ATP then serves as a shuttle, delivering energy to places within the cell where energy-consuming activities are taking place.
