What is the source of light used by mitochondria?
Mitochondria do not use light.Mitochondria use chemical energy.
In plants mitochondria use light energy to make sugar?
No it is not mitochondria. It is the chloroplast
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
Does the energy stored in mitochondria make ATP in light reactions?
The term "light reaction" does not really apply when speaking of mitochondria. Mitochondria are like furnaces. You put the wood in, light it, and it gives off heat. You put glucose into the mitochondria and the membranes facilitate the breakdown of that glucose to release the energy that was trapped in the carbon bonds. That energy is now stored as ATP. Mitochondria do not store energy, just as a furnace doesn't store heat. They process the fuel (glucose) to release energy--day or night. "Light reaction" is more aptly applied to photosynthesis, which does depend on light energy for the first part of the reaction.
Do mitochondria capture light energy?
No, mitochondria do not capture light energy. Mitochondria are organelles responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. Light energy is captured by chloroplasts in plant cells during photosynthesis.
How do colorful leaves make their food?
They contain mitochondria which stores light energy as food, also through the use of chlorophyll (a green pigment).
How do mitochondria help the chloroplasts?
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.Glucose are produced in chloroplast.
Do chloroplast and mitochondria convert chemical energy?
Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself
What does the mitochondria use?
Mitochondria use the sugar glucose to change ADP into ATP. ATP is what produces energy the cell needs.
How do you use the word mitochondria in a sentence?
Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are evolutionary the oldest parts of a cell.
Where do plants use glucose?
Mitochondria
What does our cells use for energy?
mitochondria
