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.

Do mitochondria produce food from sunlight?
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
What do the chloroplasts of green plants use carbon dioxide for?
To make glucose and Oxygen
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 can the plant cell not use the ATP produced in chloroplasts?
They are used to make glucose. Mitochondria is used for that
Why do plant cell need chloroplasts?
For photosynthesis, to make glucose. In the process turning CO2 into oxygen
Can chloroplasts make Glucose at night?
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.
What can plants do with their chloroplasts that animals cannot do?
Plants can make their own food!Plants can photosynthesise. Makin glucose from waterand carbon dioxide using light.

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
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.
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
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)
Does fungi contain chloroplasts?
No, they don't. Because fungus does not contain chloroplasts, they cannot make their own food by photosynthesis.
