How was chemical energy transformed?
I think the chemical energy in glucoseI transform to chemical energy in ATP. The chemical energy in ATP is transform to heat and Kinetic energyin the cell.
Where in the cell is nutrients made into energy?
mitochondria
What is cellular growth movement of nutrients and wastes as a cell size increases?
As a cell gets larger, it is harder for it to process nutrients. The increase of the volume of a cell also hinders a cell's ability to obtain nutrients.
What are auttrophic cells?
An autotrophic cell is can transform light energy to chemical energy. They are producers such as algae and plant cells.
What does water do in the cell?
It basically provides nutrients and energy to the cell.
Which organelle converts nutrients into energy in an animal cell?
The Mitochondrion
Is the process by which a cell converts nutrients into energy or materials.?
metabolism
Result of metabolism of energy nutrients?
During metabolism, energy nutrients are broken down and distributed to cells throughout the body. These nutrients are used to power cell functions.
How do cells take in nutrients and convert it into energy?
the mithocondria turns nutrients/food energy
What organelles transform the energy stored in food to perform metabolic processes?
Which of a cell's organelles releases energy stored in food?
What else besides mitochondria supplies energy to the cell?
The mitochondria in a cell basically creates energy (ATP) from nutrients absorbed through the cell membrane. This is the only organelle that supplies/ creates energy for the cell.
Can a single cell organism perform obtaining nutrients for energy?
Yes
