No, they are not. In a plant cell, it is the chloroplasts that use sunlight to produce glucose during photosynthesis. The glucose produced is used by the mitochondria during aerobic respiration, the process which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy-carrier molecule.

What cellular structure is responsible for converting energy stored in glucose into ATP?
The mitochondrion.
Is mitochondria responsible for converting sunlight into energy for cell?
No, they are not. In a plant cell, it is the chloroplasts that use sunlight to produce glucose during photosynthesis. The glucose produced is used by the mitochondria during aerobic respiration, the process which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy-carrier molecule.
What is the function of the motochondria?
Mitochondria are responsible for converting oxygen and nutrients into usable energy.
What organelle is in both plant and animal cells and responsible for converting energy?
The MITOCHONDRIA provides energy for both the plant and animal cell.
What are energy converting organelles?
Mitochondria
What are energy-converting organelle?
Mitochondria
Which organelle is responsible for proviiding energy to the cell?
Mitochondria is responsible for energy in the cell.
What organelle is responsible for furnishing energy?
Mitochondria. These organelles using the electron transport chain are able to produce ATP which is the major energy unit in cells. Mitochondria produce energy from food Chloroplasts- produce energy from sunlight.
