Where is energy stored in a molecule?
The nucleusAdenosine Triphosphate, often abbreviated ATP, is the molecule, created by cell respiration in the mitochondria of animal cells and photosynthesis in the chloroplasts of plants, in which energy is stored.
What are three ways oxygen gas is removed from the atmosphere and use?
Animals respire. Plants respire. Fire uses oxygen. Rusting uses oxygen. Oxygen is removed from the atmosphere by 1. respiration 2. combustion and 3. gradual oxidation process at normal temperature and pressure. It is added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis of green plants.
How is oxygen replaced?
Oxygen is replaced with plants and photosynthesis. In photosynthesis plants take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. This is why having plants is important to sustain human life.
What is the chemical change that happens naturally in plants?
A chemical change that occurs naturally in plants is photosynthesis.
What is the process plants undergo to convert energy to sugar?
photosynthesis
Are Mitochondria where photosynthesis take place?
No. photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts containing chlorophyll. our cells have mitochondria but not chloroplasts. Therefore, we can't photosynthesize as plants do.
Does the mitochondrion perform photosynthesis?
No. Photosynthesis occurs in cell organelles termed as the chloroplasts. Mitochondria is the cell organelle where energy is produced by oxidation of molecules such as sugars produced during photosynthesis. Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondrion.
Do photosynthetic plants have mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Almost all plants have mitochondria. Plants use these mitochondria to release the energy from the glucose that is stored inside them (The glucose is obtained via Photosynthesis).
Does cellular respiration occur in plants that also photosynthesize?
Yes it does as these plants contain mitochondria that put some of the glucose made by photosynthesis into the cellular respiration cycle in the mitochondria.
How can sunlight be used to create energy?
Photosynthesis inside a plants Mitochondria produces energy
Which organelles in plants and animals are responsible for energy production?
the organeelles are photosynthesis :]
Explain Why plants have mitochondria even though they include chloroplasts?
Because they have seperate functions.Chloroplast engage in photosynthesis while mitochondria engage in respiration.
What damages plant and animal tissue?
oxidation causes it, which happens as a result of photosynthesis for plants and metabolism for animals
What are the differences mitochondria and photosynthesis?
Mitochondria in animal cells convert energy into forms the animal cell can use whereas photosynthesis is the process plants use involving chloroplasts that convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose, energy and oxygen.
Where oxidation and reduction takes place?
Oxidation of water occurs wherever there is photosynthesis. Plants and organisms that perform photosynthesis take in water and other minerals and convert them to sugar, but the conversion to sugar creates a biproduct of free oxygen. This oxygen then oxidizes the water.
Is cellular respiration found in mitochondria in plant cells or animal cells of both?
Cellular Respiration is only in animals. Photosynthesis is in plants. To be precise, photosynthesis is in the mitochondria of organism like us, and respiration is in the leaves of plants. Photosynthesis and Respiration together are a cycle- plants give out oxygen and use carbon dioxide while we humans (and other organisms) use oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. I just just learned this in school. :)
How do plants get their energy from photosynthesis?
Plants harvest the chemical energy from the sugars they produced in photosynthesis. They have mitochondria and are capable of running cellular respiration. Cellular respiration breaks down macromolecules (like sugars) and turns it into usable energy for the cell.
