No, mitochondria are not photoreactive. It is the chlorophyll in chloroplasts that allows them to use light energy. Mitochondria do not have anything in them to do this. Instead, they make energy by breaking apart glucose.
They use light energy indirectly.They use glucose as the fuel. Glucose contain energy from sun light

∙ 7y agoNo it is not them .Chloroplasts does that job.
Mitochondria is the site of respiration. They produce energy in the cell
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo mitochondria do not. It is done by chloroplast
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoOf course not,they do not use sunlight they use glucose. Chloroplasts use sunlight for photosynthesis
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo they do not. Chloroplasts absorb energy of sunlight
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo they do not. Chloroplasts are the organells
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo it cannot absorb. Chloroplasts can absorb light
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo ofcourse not. They are utilizing glucose

What breakdown food to produce energy?
lysosomes
Do Chloroplasts produce food from sunlight energy?
Yes. This is the part where plants produce their food.
What organelle is called the power house of the cell and why?
1. Mitochondria and because they produce energy for the cell by convertenergy in food molecules.
How do chloroplasts and mitochondria work together in a plant cell?
Mitochondria are the part of the cell that produce the energy-providing ATP. Chloroplasts turn the energy from the sunlight into glucose, which fuels the mitochondria.
Do dandelions need sunlight?
All green plants need sunlight to produce food. Dandelions are green plants.
Is it true or false that organelles that use energy from sunlight to produce food are called mitochondria?
false, chloroplast
What organelle is responsible for furnishing energy?
Mitochondria. These organelles using the electron transport chain are able to produce ATP which is the major energy unit in cells. Mitochondria produce energy from food Chloroplasts- produce energy from sunlight.
What is the power house of the cell?
the nucleus
Do organelles use energy from sunlight to produce food are called mitochondria?
False. Mitochondria are the organelles that are involved in the aerobic breakdown of food melcule to make usable energy. The organelles the us the sun energy to make food are called Chloroplasts and are present only in plants nad prokaryotes. The first person is wrong. It is true. Mitochondria provide the energy a cell needs to move, divide, produce secretory products, etc. In short, they are the power centers of the cell. The person in the answer above is mixing the mitochondria and the Lysosome.
What breakdown food to produce energy?
lysosomes
How do plants produce food from sunlight?
The chlorophyll in a plant's leaf traps the energy from the sunlight. A plant need carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce food.
Do Chloroplasts produce food from sunlight energy?
Yes. This is the part where plants produce their food.
What cell part uses food to produce energy?
The Mitochondria.
What is the organelle in a plant cell that uses sunlight to produce food?
The type of organelle in a plant cell that uses sunlight to produce food is chloroplasts.
What organelle is called the power house of the cell and why?
1. Mitochondria and because they produce energy for the cell by convertenergy in food molecules.
What is the primary purpose of mitochondria in a cell?
they trap sunlight and use the energy to make food
What organelle captures energy from sunlight and uses to produce food food for the cell?
The organelle that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell is called a chloroplast.
