'Energy Factory' is a casual term for a Mitochondrion (plural: Mitochondria), which is a structure found in cells which produces energy for the cell. It is also involved in signalling between cells, programmed cell death, cell growth, and cellular differentiation. It is also a source of chemical energy for the cell.

What does an mitochondria do?
All mitochondria produce energy for the cell. The cell can be considered to be a factory. This factory makes proteins in most cases. The mitochondria produce the energy for the factory to work.
What is like the energy factory of a plant?
Mitochondria
What is energy used in the leaf factory?
light
How much energy does a camera factory use?
That would really depend on the size of the factory! Also, what time period is considered - it usually makes more sense to talk about the POWER such a factory uses, than about the energy - that is, the energy used per time unit.
What cells work like the energy factory?
Mitochondrion are like the Energy factories
What is the source of free energy for the leaf factory?
If by 'leaf factory' you mean the leaves of plants, then the source of free energy is the Sun, in the form of sunlight form the Sun.
Is plant a chemical factory?
A plant can be called a chemical factory due to photosynthesis. The chemical factory of the plant uses sunlight to produce energy that is stored in sugars.
Do plants have mitochondria?
Yes.Plants also need energy.This energy is produced in mitochondria
What does mitochindria produce?
Mitochondria produce the energy that is used in the cells. They are commonly referred to the energy factory of powerhouse of the cells.
Where do you get the energy star certification for appliances?
The Energy Star certification comes with the appliance from the factory. If it passes all tests for efficiency, it is Energy Star Rated. If it doesn't it isn't. You can't get an Energy Star rating for an appliance that left the factory without one. It isn't something that can be bought, it can only be earned.
What are the chemical factory functions?
cell extracts energy and applies energy to perform work. Some organisms even convert energy to light, as in bioluminscence.
What is mitochondria like if a cell is like a factory?
The synthesis site of ATP. This is the energy currency of the cell so the job of the mitochondria could be said to be the cell's battery.
