Chloroplasts must capture the sunlight during the day and make it into Glucose, STARCH, or store it in the mitochondria as ATP energy. After this happens they will then rely on the mitochondria for glucose at night. Either way, the plant must have energy at all times. Hence why it is stored in the mitochondria.

Chloroplasts cannot make glucose at night Why Not?
They make glucose through the process of photosynthesis. Since that process uses light as it's source of energy, it can't go on at night.
What uses energy to make food?
Chloroplasts convert energy into glucose.
What do chloroplasts use to make glucose?
water, carbon dioxide, and energy (light)
What do the chloroplasts of green plants use carbon dioxide of?
To make glucose and Oxygen
What do the chloroplasts of green plants use carbon dioxide for?
To make glucose and Oxygen
What organelle convert solar energy into glucose and oxygen?
Chloroplasts
What do chloroplasts eat?
Glucose
Why is it necessary to have 6 CO2 enter the chloroplasts?
It is not necessary.But you need 6 CO2 moles for make 1 glucose mole.
Why cant plants produce sugar over night?
In the the night time there is no sun, hence no light. During the day a plant will use chloroplasts to make glucose, which is then stored as plant starch. When there is no sun for an extended period of time a plant can get energy from tubers. A tuber is a modified plant structure, under ground, where it can store excess glucose. (sugar is basically the same as glucose)
What organelle takes the product of the chloroplasts to make ATP?
That organelle is the mitochondria. It use glucose for respiration
Why can the plant cell not use the ATP produced in chloroplasts?
They are used to make glucose. Mitochondria is used for that
How do chloroplasts affect the functions of organelle?
Function of cell needs energy. Energy is generated using glucose. Glucose is made by chloroplasts
