Do chloroplast and mitochondria convert chemical energy?
Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself
Why is it important for muscle cells to contain lots of mitochondria?
Mitochondria convert the chemical energy in sugar to ATP which the actin-myosin need to contract. Without enough glucose, oxygen and the mitocondria to convert it to usable energy there can be no muscle contraction. Active muscle has many mitochondria so that the muscles appears darker.
What are organelles that convert food into energy?
Mitochondria are organelles that convert food molecules into energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell due to their role in producing energy for cellular activities.
Which two organelles convert energy?
The two organelles that convert energy are the mitochondria, which generate ATP through cellular respiration, and the chloroplasts, which produce energy through photosynthesis in plant cells.
What are the two things that the mitochondria need to make energy?
The mitochondria need oxygen and nutrients to make energy.
What organelles uses energy from ATP?
Mitochondria is the organelle that uses energy from organic compounds like pyruvate to make ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. Mitochondria is also where electron transport occurs.
What do mitochondria convert?
They break down glucose.Released energy is stored in ATPs.
What is the power plant of the cell where energy is produced?
The power plant of the cell where energy is produced is the mitochondria. Mitochondria convert nutrients from food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main energy source for cellular processes.
Cell organelle which converts food energy into cellular?
Mitochondria. However, it only converts glucose (a simple sugar) to ATP (usable energy). There are many more enzymes that break down complex sugars to simple sugars. Glucose is the ONLY form of sugar that the mitochondria can convert to ATP. Other simple sugars like galactose and fructose need to be converted to glucose first.
Which organelle converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are convenient for the cell to use?
Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for converting the chemical energy stored in food molecules into ATP, which is the primary energy source for cellular activities. This process is known as cellular respiration and takes place in the mitochondria's inner membrane.
What is an organelle that uses oxygen to convert nutrients into energy that can be used by the cell?
mitochondria
Which organelles in human cells convert glucose into energy in the form of ATP?
mitochondria
