Which organelle turns food into the type of energy that cells can use?
Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for converting food molecules into ATP, the energy currency of cells through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is used by the cell to power various functions and processes.
What organelle transforms energy the energy in carbohydrates into molecules of ATP?
Chloraplast
What breaks down food and turns it into energy in the cell?
health
Why is food reqired by animals?
Food has vital nutrients and stuff. An animal's body breaks the food down and turns it into energy, which is then distributed to the cells and that way the animal doesn't die.
What is a cells mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the cells source of energy. I believe that it takes protein and turns it into energy for the cell.
Why are chloroplasts always in plant cells but never in animal cells?
Because chloroplasts make their own food, the organelle: CHLOROPLAST, turns solar energy from the sun into chemical energy for food, via a process known as photosynthesis, animals, well, we just tend to buy/attain our food from other sources, we're not autotrophic!
What organelles break down food and turn it into energy for cell use?
Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for breaking down food molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
What does the chloroplast function in the plant cell?
The chloroplast is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, converting light energy into sugars that the plant can use as energy. It contains chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy for the photosynthetic process.
What organelle produces food for the plant cells?
Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells responsible for producing food through the process of photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy the plant can use.
Where do you obtain the energy you need to complete everyday tasks?
You obtain the energy from the food you eat, when you breath your body breaks down the food and turns it into energy that it can use ATP molecules.
What plant cell captures energy from the sun to make food?
A chloroplast captures sun light and turns it into chlorophyll which is sugar (glucose) All plant cells do that, it's called photosynthasis, there is an organelle within the cell called chloroplast that performs photosynthasis.
What organelle turns solar energy into chemical energy?
Chloroplasts are the organelles that convert solar energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves capturing sunlight and transforming it into glucose, a form of chemical energy that the plant can use for growth and metabolism.
