Why do Cells take in nutrients?
Cells require amino acids, vitamins, minerals, glucose, and fatty acids. Cells need glucose for energy, amino acids to make proteins, fatty acids to make the cell membrane and hormones, etc. Basically, the cells need these items to maintain itself in energy, regulation, and structure; just like how you need food to maintain your energy, regulate your body's needs, and reinforce it's structure.
What cell organelle is responsible for obtaining energy?
Mitochrondria produces ATP (energy) for cells. Cloroplasts take in light energy or obtain energy for plant cells.
What 3 things do cells-organisms have to do to maintain homeostasis?
They release waste (1) and they take in nutrients (2). For the 3rd way, I do not really know.
What process involves the chloroplast?
Photosynthesis (The chloroplasts in plant cells use solar energy to process nutrients.)
What activities make plant and animal cells different in how they obtain energy?
One of the ways that plant and animal cells differ in how they obtain energy is the chloroplasts in plants. Plants take visible light, mostly red and blue, however they do take some green light waves, in through their chloroplasts, and do photosynthesis with the energy that they have attained from the sunlight. Plants are autotrophes; meaning they obtain their energy from abiotic sources, such as sunlight or inorganic chemicals. Animals are heterotrophs; meaning they obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms. I hope that helps!
How do cells take in nutrients and convert it into energy?
the mithocondria turns nutrients/food energy
What does the mithchondria do?
Mitochondria are responsible for breaking down nutrients. They also take in nutrients and are responsible for making energy for cells.

What are the nutrients and the materials cells take in and products that are released during photosynthesis?
What are the nutrients and the materials cells take in and products that are released during photosynthesis?
Why is food a source of energy?
Food energy is energy obtained from food through cellular respiration, which is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate.
What do producers take energy from?
Producer get their energy by the nutrients and the sun it gets.
What routs do nutrients take in the body?
Nutrients are trasported by the blood cells to diffrent parts of your body
Why are fungi heterotrophic?
It is a fungi, a family of life which ca take nutrients from living or non living things. It can be a parasite; taking nutrients from a living source (hence the term "fungal infection") Or it can take nutrients from inorganic sources such as nutrients in the soil.
Where the exchange of nutrients in the blood and wastes from the cells take place?
Kidneys
Where does the polio virus get its nutrients?
Viri do not need nutrients. They take over cells and use the cell's metabolism to reproduce.
What is cellular about?
Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions ad processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients. It is the process of oxidizing food molecules.
Is all the energy from plants passed on to the animal that eats it?
not specifically energy but nutrients and minerals are passed on. take humans for instance, were animals and we get nutrients from vegies
