What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
What are the organelles that break down food in an organelle?
Mitochondria, it is the cell's energy producer & also called the power house of the cell.
When cell parts such as organelles break down they are recycled by what?
the lysosome
Organelles that break down sugar to produce energy?
mitochondria
A organelles that break down sugar produce energy?
chloroplasts
What is a cell part that contains so much energy that it is called the powerhouse of a cell?
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that provide the cell with energy. They take in the nutrients, break them down and create energy rich molecules for the cell to perform it's various functions.
What organelles break down food and turn it into energy for cell use?
The organelle that breaks down food and turns it into energy, is called chlorophyll, chloroplasts, and vacuoles.... all true though.
What do recycling organelles break down food molecules and cell wastes?
lysomes
What organelle converts the chemical energy stored in food in compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use?
Lysosomes, They break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins from food into particles that can be used by the rest of the cell, or help break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness.
Do lysosomes break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness?
Yes. Lysosomes break down organelles that have outlived their usefulness.
What does a lysosome do in a cell?
Found in animal cells, lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, including old organelles.
What does the cytoplasm carry out in the cell?
The cytoplasm uses enzymes to break down larger molecules. Those products can then be used as energy for the cell. One main function is to act as a filler of the cell holding organelles in place.
