False. Mitochondria are the organelles that are involved in the aerobic breakdown of food melcule to make usable energy. The organelles the us the sun energy to make food are called Chloroplasts and are present only in plants nad prokaryotes.
The first person is wrong. It is true. Mitochondria provide the energy a cell needs to move, divide, produce secretory products, etc. In short, they are the power centers of the cell. The person in the answer above is mixing the mitochondria and the Lysosome.

What is the power house of the cell?
the nucleus
What are organelles that break down sugar to produce energy?
The breakdown of sugar (mainly glucose) is called glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. The product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is used to make ATP energy by the Krebs Cycle in the mitochondria.
What is an energy-converting organelle found in plant and algae cells?
Chloroplasts are energy-converting organelles found in green plant cells. Within the chloroplasts are stacks of disks called thykaloids in which photosynthesis takes place, creating carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
What are the tiny organs are in a cell?
Tiny organs in a cell are called organelles (organ-like). This includes the nucleus, Golgi body, mitochondria and others.
What are plant organelles that make food from sunlight?
The plant organelles that make food from sunlight are the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are found in cell of the plant, and contain the pigment chlorophyll, which convert the solar energy into sugar. This sugar is the food for the plant.Organelles called ____________ capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. The answer is chloroplasts. ;)
Is it true or false that organelles that use energy from sunlight to produce food are called mitochondria?
false, chloroplast
What is the power house of the cell?
the nucleus
Mitochondria is a cell of an animal or plant?
Mitochondria are not cells, they are parts of cells, belonging to a category called organelles. Animal cells have them. They produce energy.
Energy is produce in organelles called?
Energy is produced in organelles called mitochondria. The mitochondria creates energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria can move, change shape, and divide of its own accord.
These organelles are likened to a factory generator that produce energy to keep the cell going?
The mitochondria are the organelles that produce the energy for the cell and body. They are often called the power houses of the cell because of their function.
Where do cells get to produce the energy from?
Animal cells use forms of sugar to make energy using the organelles called mitochondria.
What organelle is responsible for conserving ATP in aerobic respiration?
In all cells, there are membrane enclosed organelles called Mitochondria, which produce ATP and glucose.
What are organelles that break down sugar to produce energy?
The breakdown of sugar (mainly glucose) is called glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. The product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is used to make ATP energy by the Krebs Cycle in the mitochondria.
Where is sugar combined with oxygen to make energy?
In the organelles called mitochondria.
What is an energy-converting organelle found in plant and algae cells?
Chloroplasts are energy-converting organelles found in green plant cells. Within the chloroplasts are stacks of disks called thykaloids in which photosynthesis takes place, creating carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
What organelle is called the power house of the cell and why?
1. Mitochondria and because they produce energy for the cell by convertenergy in food molecules.
What do you call specialized structures in cells?
There are several different types of structures called organelles in cytoplasm.
