What organelle in plants participates in cellular respiration what other organelle in both plants and animals is the main components for cellular respiration?

The organelle in plants that participates in cellular respiration is endoplasmic reticulum, and is also the organelle in both plants and animals, that is the main components for cellular respiration.


How do plants get their energy from photosynthesis?

Plants harvest the chemical energy from the sugars they produced in photosynthesis. They have mitochondria and are capable of running cellular respiration. Cellular respiration breaks down macromolecules (like sugars) and turns it into usable energy for the cell.


Where in plant cells does cellular respiration take place?

In plants the process of cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria (an organelle which produces ATPs or energy) of a cell.


What cellular organelle are responsible for photosynthesis in green plants?

The chloroplasts.


What organelle carries out cellular respiration in plants?

This, of course, would be the mitochondria.Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol outside said organelle.


What organelle breaks down nutrients?

The organelle that breaks down nutrients is called mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in most eukaryotic cells in animals, plants and fungi.


Why organelle in both plants and animals breaks down glucose?

Hey brake down the glucose(sugar) into "ATP" which then the cell uses for energy. Hope that helps


Is an organelle found in plants or animals?

Both, an organelle is a sub-cellular organ E.g. nucleus, chloroplast Etc.


What cell organelles capture and release of energy?

In plants and a few other organisms that can do photosynthesis, the organelle that uses the energy from sunlight to form chemical bonds (namely,glucose) and thus "capture" energy is the chloroplast. The energy in the bonds of these compounds (glucose) can later be released during the process of cellular respiration. The organelle associated with cellular respiration is the mitochondria.


An energy coverting organelle found in plants?

chloroplast


What is the main energy trapping organelle in plants?

chloroplast


Where are chloropalsts located?

Chloroplasts, the organelle responsible for turning light energy into chemical cellular energy (ATP) through photosynthesis, are located in the green tissue of plants and algae. This area is called the "mesophyll" and is basically the leaves of the plant.
