What else can I help you with?
Do mitochondria produce food from sunlight?
No, mitochondria are not photoreactive. It is the chlorophyll in chloroplasts that allows them to use light energy. Mitochondria do not have anything in them to do this. Instead, they make energy by breaking apart glucose.They use light energy indirectly.They use glucose as the fuel. Glucose contain energy from sun light
Why are the mitochondria and chloroplast opposite?
Chloroplasts are glucose manufacturers. Mitochondria utilize those glucose
Intestinal cells absorb glucose via active transport so would the glucose absorption decrease if all the mitochondria within these intestinal cells were destroyed?
Yes, glucose absorption would likely decrease if all the mitochondria within the intestinal cells were destroyed. Mitochondria are essential for generating the energy (ATP) needed for active transport processes. Without mitochondria, the cells would lack the energy required for effective glucose absorption through active transport.
What is preferred monosaccharide of the mitochondria?
Glucose is used in it. It is the fuel of mitochondria
Is glucose or chlorophyll the simple sugar broken down in mitochondria?
Glucose is the main substrate used for respiration.So it can be considered as the 6C sugar.
How are mitochondria and chloroplast different?
Chloroplasts have chlorophyll, mitochondria don't. Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis and produce glucose. Mitochondria carry out respiration and break down glucose
Which cellular organelle uses oxygen and glucose to provide energy?
The mitochondria is the organelle that uses oxygen and glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
What contains enzymes used in the breakdown of glucose and generation of ATP?
Mitochondria
What organelle uses glucose?
Mitochondria
Where do plants use glucose?
Mitochondria
Where is glucose processed?
In the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Do plants use glucose?
Mitochondria
