In both plant and animal cells, mitochonria are responsible for energy transfer. They are the sites of the a metabolic process in which ATP is generated from extracting energy from sugars, fats, and other fuels.In plant cells only, chloroplasts are responsible for energy transfer; they are the sites of photosynthesis.
Yes!
The form of potential energy that organic compounds hold is called fuel. On burning these compounds, the heat can be converted into other forms of energy.
Cells transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the process of aerobic respiration. ATP is the main energy currency of the cell and is used to power various cellular functions and processes.
No, Golgi bodies are organelles responsible for processing, packaging, and delivering proteins and lipids to different parts of the cell. They are not primarily involved in the recapture of energy from organic compounds. Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.
Mitochondria is the organelle that uses energy from organic compounds like pyruvate to make ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. Mitochondria is also where electron transport occurs.
The organelles primarily responsible for producing most of the ATP in eukaryotic cells are the mitochondria. They generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation during cellular respiration, utilizing organic compounds such as glucose. Additionally, chloroplasts in plant cells also contribute to ATP production through photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
No, not all organisms use organic compounds for energy. Some organisms, such as certain bacteria, are capable of using inorganic compounds like hydrogen sulfide or ammonia as an energy source through a process called chemosynthesis. These organisms do not rely on organic compounds for their energy needs.
Green organelles responsible for food production in plants are chloroplasts. These organelles contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. Chloroplasts play a crucial role in converting carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds, supporting the growth and energy needs of the plant.
