Which organelle found in plant cell breaks down sugars for cellular energy?
chrosome
Which organelle, found in this plant cell, breaks down sugars for cellular energy?
The organelle responsible for breaking down sugars for cellular energy in plant cells is the mitochondria. Mitochondria are considered the powerhouse of the cell due to their role in producing ATP through cellular respiration, where sugars are broken down to release energy.
What does a plant use sugars for?
The simple sugars are most easily stored as starches, and the breaking down of these starches is what releases the energy the plant needs to survive. Actually, it is necessary to store the sugars in some insoluble forms, you know a soluble form of sugar cannot be stored in cells since it imbalances the osmoticum of cells. Starch is insoluble and more stable, so plants prefers to store the sugars in the form of starch converts to sucrose and other soluble sugars whenver needed.
Chloroplastas are organelles that are found in the cells of?
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant and algae cells. They are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which they convert sunlight into energy in the form of sugars. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs light for photosynthesis.
What does a chloroplasts of a plant cell do?
Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. They are only found in plant cells and some protists. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Every greenplant you see is working to convert the energy of the sun into sugars. Plants are the basis of all life on Earth. They create sugars, and the byproduct of that process is the oxygen that we breathe. That process happens in the chloroplast. Mitochondria work in the opposite direction and break down the sugars and nutrients that the cell receives.
What is the cells of a plant that move food either up or down the stem to other parts of the plant are called?
The cells in plants that move food either up or down the stem to other parts of the plant are called sieve tubes. These tubes are part of the phloem tissue and are responsible for transporting sugars and other nutrients throughout the plant.
What process breaks down food sugars and releases energy in a plant?
photosynthesis
When you eat a piece of bread you consume carbohydrates which part of the cell is reponsible for breaking down a carbohydrate for use by the body?
It is not a part of a cell, it is an enzyme produced by cells that breaks down carbohydrates into the component simple sugars that the cells can use. These simple sugars are then "burned" by the mitochondria in cells.
What part of the plant is responsible for respiration?
Respiration in plants primarily occurs in the mitochondria within the plant cells. Oxygen is taken in through pores on the leaves called stomata and is used in the mitochondria to break down sugars and release energy for the plant's cellular processes.
What is the reason plants must use respiration in addition to photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis produces sugars, but these sugars must be broken down. Otherwise, the plant cannot use the energy stored in sugars.
What does a chloroplasts of a cell do?

How do your cells obtain glucose?
Plant cells gain glucose by absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and then through the chemical reaction photosynthesis make the glucose. Animal cells gain glucose by taking in oxygen and sugars containing the glucose made by plants.
