What do the cells need energy for?

i think it`s sun light is necessary for it to make food


What do plant cells have which absorb energy from light t make food?

chloroplast more detailed it is quantosomes present in thyllakoid of chloroplast which absorb light energy


What changes energy into food in plant cells?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plant cells convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose (food). This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


How can a chloroplast prvide energy for both plants and animals?

Animal cells don't have chloroplasts. Only plant cells do. Plant cells use chloroplasts in photosynthesis. They catch light energy that is essential for them to make food. Animals don't use photosynthesis to make food, so they can't get energy from something they don't have.


What is the shape of leaf cells that make food?

Palisade cells are the plant cells that make food. They are a vertically elongated shape and absorb a major portion of the light energy used to make food.


What is the energy source that helps plants make food?

It actually isn't a chemical. It is known as chlorophyll which is present in chloroplasts in the plant cells. It captures light energy from the sun, converts it into chemical energy and uses other raw materials to produce simple sugars i.e glucose.


How do cells get the energy to do their daily activities?

Plant cells synthesize their food by photosynthesis. Animal cells can not do like plants, so it needs to be taken.Digestion of food molecules will help the cells to make energy(ATP).


What are plants called when they make their own food of light energy?

Cell's that create their own food out of light energy are called plant cells. Plants is the organism made out of plant cells. A plant cell is part of a cell category called Eukaryotes. Eukaryotes contain both animal and plant cells.


Green organelle that captures light energy and uses it ton make food?

Chloroplasts are the green organelles in plant cells responsible for capturing light energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food) for the plant.


The process by which a cell captures the energy in sunlight?

Plant cells use chloroplast- animals don't capture energy.


How can producers make their own food?

They use light energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars, which are fuel/food for their cells. This process is photosynthesis.
