What are cells that make their own energy called?

Cells that make their own energy are called "autotrophic cells." These cells use processes like photosynthesis (in plants) or chemosynthesis (in bacteria) to produce their own energy.


What are the cells of plants that possess unique chlorophyll containing organelles called?

The cells of plants that possess unique chlorophyll-containing organelles are called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plants, where they convert light energy into chemical energy to produce sugars for the plant's energy needs.


What are plants called when they make their own food of light energy?

Cell's that create their own food out of light energy are called plant cells. Plants is the organism made out of plant cells. A plant cell is part of a cell category called Eukaryotes. Eukaryotes contain both animal and plant cells.


What is the organelles in plants cells in what light energy is changed into a surgar called glucose?

What is the process called that plants and animals get their energy?

Plants get their energy through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy. Animals get their energy by consuming plants or other animals and breaking down the organic molecules through processes like respiration to release energy for their cells.


Where do cells get there energy?

Plants get their energy from the sun.


Why is muscle tissue not found in plants?

Muscle tissue is made up of specialized cells called muscle fibers that are responsible for movement in animals. Plants do not have the same need for movement as animals do, so they do not have muscle tissue. Instead, plant cells are mostly stationary and provide support, structure, and perform photosynthesis.


What kind of energy is stored by plants when they take in light energy from the sun?

The light energy absorbed by plants is converted into chemical energy by chlorophyll. The energy is used to create a chemical called ATP, which stores and transports energy to cells.


Do Plant cells derive their energy from chlorophyll.?

Plants do not dear be their energy from chlorophyll. However, they use chlorophyll to produce carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, in turn, are used to provide energy for the plant.


The release of energy in plants and animals from food is called?

The release of energy in plants and animals is called respiration.


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.


Which molecule in plants cells first captures the radiant energy from sunlight?
