What else can I help you with?
Which of these describes two cell structures with similar functions?
a chloroplast and a mitochondrion are alike because both make energy from sugar
Which organelles must be present within a cell of a geranium leaf for respiration and photosynthesis?
For respiration, the mitochondria are essential as they are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP. For photosynthesis, chloroplasts are required as they contain chlorophyll which captures sunlight to drive the process of producing glucose. Both processes are crucial for plant cells to produce energy and sustain life.
What is the organelles of plants where photosynthesis occurs?
chloroplast
What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
What is the synonym and antonym for chloroplast?
A chloroplast is an organelle found in many plants that contains the mechanisms for photosynthesis, the process by which plants obtain energy from sunlight. It has no sysnonym and antonym since it is an object, not a description.
What is the process that takes place in a chloroplast and the mitochondrion?
Dark reaction take place in stroma.Light reaction take place in thylakoid membranes.
Which two plant cell structure are responsible for storing energy from sunlight and later releasing it for cells to use?
Chloroplast and Mitochondria. A chloroplast harvests solar energy and stores it in organic molecules during photosynthesis. Each mitochondrion releases stored energy.
What are two energy related organelles?
The two organelles in a plant cell that are sites of ATP synthesis are the mitochondrion and the chloroplast.Not all cells in a plant contain chloroplasts.
Which pair of organelles are light and chemical energies are transformed?
The pair of organelles where light energy is transformed into chemical energy are the chloroplasts. Within the chloroplasts, the process of photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into glucose.
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.
What is the organelle that is light and chemical energies transformed?
The organelle responsible for transforming light energy into chemical energy in plant cells is the chloroplast. Through the process of photosynthesis, chloroplasts capture sunlight and convert it into glucose (sugar) for energy.
How does the surface of a mitochondrion or chloroplast affect its energy output?
The surface of mitochondria and chloroplasts is highly folded or structured, which increases the surface area available for biochemical reactions. In mitochondria, the inner membrane's folds, known as cristae, enhance the space for the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis, leading to greater energy output through oxidative phosphorylation. Similarly, in chloroplasts, the thylakoid membranes increase surface area for light absorption and facilitate the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. This structural adaptation allows for more efficient energy conversion and production in both organelles.
