Where inside plants does the body break down sugar to produce energy?
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
What organelle converts sugar to energy?
Mitochondria
How do chloroplast and mitochondria function in the capture and release of energy within the cell?
The chloroplast is in plant cells and takes light and oxygen to create energy for the plant. The mitochondria is in animal cells and takes carbon dioxide and water to create sugar for the cell.
What organelle uses light energy to make glucose?
Chloroplasts in plants, they convert light energy and store it as sugar (sucrose).
How do plants make sugars?
Plants make sugars through the process of Photosynthesis.
What form can plants can trap light energy into chemical energy into?
Plants have specialized organelles in their cells called chloroplasts that perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process that takes light energy from the sun and binds that energy into glucose.
What organelle converts energy into sugar?
mitochondria
Where inside plants does the body break down sugar to produce energy?
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
What do mitochondria need to convert energy?
Mitochondria needs sugar.
Where is the energy stored when plants convert light energy into energy that plants can use?
In chemical bonds, in the molecule that we call Sugar.
What organelle releases energy from sugar?
The mitochondrion (plural = mitochondria)
What is a pigment that helps plants produce sugar from light energy?
chlorophyll
What pigment that helps plants produce sugar from light energy?
chlorophyll
Plants change light energy in what type of energy?
Chemical energy (the food they store, in form of sugar).
What organelle converts sugar to energy?
Mitochondria
What breaks down sugar for energy?
Mitochondria
Which sugar made by plants is consumed in the mitochondria?
Glucose.
