Chloroplasts convert sunlight into energy for cells, turning the sun's energy, water, and carbon dioxide into food, but they are only in plant cells.
In the animal cell, a different process of energy production takes place. Mitochondria use cellular respiration to create energy. Glucose is your body/cells preferred source of energy. Glucose comes from saccharides (carbohydrates). The mitochondria in your cells take in glucose and process it through a series of steps in a cycle called cellular respiration, producing ATP (Adenine Triphosphate) which in turn is used as your cell's energy -- usually by cleaving of a phosphate or two in a reaction creating energy.

What organelle traps the energy of sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose?
The organelle located inside a plant cell that uses sunlight to make energy is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is the substance used to make the sugar or glucose.
Which plant cell organelle converts chemical fuel into packets of chemical energy that can power the cell?
Mitochondria
Which device converts electrical energy into chemical energy?
an electrochemical cell
A dry cell is used in a flashlight to convert what to light?
Chemical energy into light energy more specifically i.e. dry cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy flashlight converts electrical energy into light energy
A cell that converts solar energy to electricity?
Photovoltaic
What organelle converts light energy to the chemical energy in the cell?
The chloroplast converts light energy into chemical energy in a photosynthetic cell, such as a plant cell or algal cell.
What converts sunlight to chemical energy on the plant cell?
The organelle which converts solar energy into useable energy for the plant is called the chloroplast. The chloroplast contains chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants which traps light and converts it into glucose, water, and oxygen.
Which organelle converts nutrients into energy in an animal cell?
The Mitochondrion
What organelle captures external energy and converts it into energy within the cell?
Chloroplast.
What organelle traps the energy of sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose?
The organelle located inside a plant cell that uses sunlight to make energy is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is the substance used to make the sugar or glucose.
What organelle captures energy from sunlight and uses to produce food food for the cell?
The organelle that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell is called a chloroplast.
What cell membrane works like energy house?
Mitochondria is an organelle inside the cell that converts energy.
What is miochondira?
Do you mean mitochondria? It's an organelle in a cell structure that converts energy for the cell
What is the organelle that converts food energy to a form that can be used by the cell?
Vacuole
What organelle converts energy from the sun into ATP?
mitochondria is the organelle which is involved in the production of energy.
What does the cloroplast do for the cell?
It contains chlorophyll, which converts sunlight into energy for the cell to use.
What organelle converts chemical energy in food into ATP for the cell to use?
