Which organelle is like a solar panel?

Chloroplasts are like solar panels in plant cells because they capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.


What organelle coverts light energy in chemical energy?

Chloroplasts are the organelles that convert light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.


Why is a bike considered a device that can convert energy?

A bike is considered a device that can convert energy because it allows a person to convert the energy from pedaling into kinetic energy to move the bike. As the pedals turn, the mechanical energy provided by the person is transferred to the wheels, propelling the bike forward.


What organelle sorts things?

I don't think that there is any organelle which sorts things, but the cell membrane selects which materials it allows in. If you were wondering how proteins are sorted, a hexagonally shaped network of structures called spectrin tetramers located in the cytoskeleton keep proteins equally distributed.Some organelles are: Organelles are the structures inside of a cell. Some examples are: the nucleus (boss of the cell), nucleolus (ribosome-producing organelle in the center of the nucleus), mitochondria (powerhouses), chloroplasts (solar panel-like structures containing chlorophyl (a green pigment) which convert sunlight into energy and glucose (sugar) in a plant cell, and lysosomes (cleanup crew which makes the materials it takes in into other materials.


Which organelle uses molecular oxygen to convert and detoxify harmful substances such as alcohol?

The peroxisome is the organelle that uses molecular oxygen to convert and detoxify harmful substances such as alcohol. Peroxisomes contain enzymes that break down these toxins into less harmful byproducts through a process called oxidation.

What organelle allows plants to be autotrophic?

Chloroplasts are the organelles that allow plants to be autotrophic. They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis, where plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce food.


What organelle in the plant cell can take light energy and convert it to food?

The chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis - which creates glucose with the aid of sunlight.


IS RAYON SYNTHETIC OR MAN MADE?

Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber that is made from cellulose, which is a natural material found in plant cell walls. While rayon is considered a man-made fiber because it undergoes a process to convert cellulose into a usable textile, it is derived from naturally occurring materials.
