Actually, Carbohydrates, lipid and proteins can be used to be broken down into ATP. However, Carbohyrates are most commonly used because it yeilds more molecules of ATP.

Cells power plants break down food molecules to make ATP?
mitochondria
How do plants use respiration to release the energy they need to grow?
The process is almost identical to the process animals use. The plantc cells break down simple sugars in the cytosol, and use the chemical energy that is released to phosphorylate short-term energy storage molecules. These molecules move to the mitochondrion, where they give their energy to an electron transport system that generates ATP, which is the molecule that provides energy for most of the reactions that happen in the cell. The difference between plants and animals is that animals have to eat sugars to power respiration, and plants create them using photosynthesis.
Are Mitochondria do in plant and animal cells?
yes,mitochondrion is common to both plants and animals because it is the power house of the cell.Hence it is found in all types of cells.
What molecules do plants take in to begin the Calvin cycle?
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to begin the Calvin cycle. They also use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) molecules, which are generated during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, to power the Calvin cycle.
Is midochondria found in animals plants of both?
The Mitochondria is found in both the animal and plant cells. They are the "power house" of the cell. They create energy.

Is a cell larger than a molecule?
Molecules are made of cells, and cells are made up of atoms. So no, a cell is NOT bigger. Least to greatest size- atoms, cells, molecules No. Cells are not made of atoms. Molcules are larger than cells, but smaller than atoms. Atoms go to 10 to the negative tenth power. Molecules go to 10 to the negative ninth power. And cells go to 10 to the negative fith power.
Why are chloroplast organelles only found in plants cells?
Chlorophyll exists only in plants. Because nature have given the power of photosythesis to plants only
What is the source of electricity of a blender?
Blenders plug into electrical outlets in your home so have AC current. That electricity may come from wind power, nuclear power plants, coal power plants, solar cells, hydroelectric plants or a combination of the above.
What little power houses store energy inside both plant and animal cells for later use?
Mitochondrions store power in animal cells for later use. However, plants have chloroplasts to store energy.
