What are the energy-producing organelles?

mitochondria and chloroplasts (for plants)


What is a organism that break down molecules to generate energy?

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms break down molecules to produce energy.


What is the group of organelles that is common to both plant cells and animal cells?

Plants and animals share almost all the same organelles except: Plants have chloroplasts: structures that are central to the process of photosynthesis. The chloroplasts are capable of converting energy from sunlight into chemical energy required for the growth of the plant Animals have mitochondria: Called the powerhouse of the cell. Its function is to produce ATP molecules that are packets of energy within the body are are essential for the continuity of biological processes.


Do all organisms use the same process to produce lipids?

No not all organisms use the same process to produce lipids. Lipids are produced in a variety of ways depending on the organism. Generally lipids are produced through either biosynthesis or digestion. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the building of molecules from smaller components often with the input of energy from ATP. This is the process used by plants and some microorganisms to produce lipids. Digestion is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components. This is the process used by animals to obtain lipids from food sources.In some cases lipids are also produced through chemical processes such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.


Do plants need ATP to make food?

Yes. Both plants and animals have mitochondria and can synthesize ATP there. Plants, though, make the molecules they submit to the respiration process while animals have to ingest such molecules.

Which types of structures help animals get energy?

Animals are aerobic eukaryotic organisms. Aerobic organisms are those which get their energy by chemically breaking down molecules using oxygen. Eukaryotic organisms are those with cells that have internal organelles, particularly a nucleus. All aerobic eukaryotes produce energy within the mitochondria of their cells.
