In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.

The process of breaking down sugar to produce cellular energy is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, sugar molecules (such as glucose) are broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main energy currency of the cell. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.
Respiration involves breaking down sugar with the use of oxygen to produce energy more efficiently, while fermentation is an anaerobic process that breaks down sugar without oxygen to produce energy less efficiently. Both processes result in the production of ATP, the cell's main energy source.
The organelle that breaks down sugar to produce energy is the mitochondrion. This process is known as cellular respiration, which generates ATP, the cell's main energy source. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell due to their role in energy production.
Chemical energy is stored in sugar molecules. This energy is released when sugar is broken down in a process called cellular respiration, allowing cells to produce energy for various biological processes.
A chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar
No, photosynthesis is the absorbtion of CO2, H20 and UV light in order to produce O2 and sugar molecules.
To break down sugar and produce useful energy, the cells need many things, but most importantly they need ENZYMES.
