Cells use cellular respiration. Unless we are talking about plants. Then it is photosynthesis.

Process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight?

The process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight is called photosynthesis. This is possible because of the chloroplasts inside an autotrophs cells.


What is the name of the process that plant cells do to create energy?

Plant cells create energy through a process called photosynthesis. They use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of the plant cells.


What kind of cells contains chloroplasts?

Plant Cells---------------------------------------------------Plant cells use sunlight as their energy source, and the sunlight must be converted into energy inside the cell in a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the structures that perform this function.Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not make food from sunlight.


What process that plant cells use to change sunlight into chemical energy?

Photosynthesis is the process that plant cells use to convert sunlight into chemical energy. This process involves capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is used by the plant for growth and metabolism.


Which type of cell is capable of harnessing energy from sunlight?

Chloroplasts, the cellular organelles found in plant cells and some other types of cells, are capable of harnessing energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis.


In plant cells the organelles called are where energy of sunlight is converted to stored chemical energy?

I believe you are talking about chloroplasts. YAAASS


What organelle converts sunlight into energy for the cell?

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 organisms cells store energy from the sun?

Plant cells store energy from the sun. They do this because they need the sunlight to make food and because they cannot create energy on their own.


What captures energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell?

The Chlorophyll in plant cells. They use the sunlight to create glucose, basically food for the plant. This process is called photosynthesis


The process that plants use to make energy from sunlight?

Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make energy from sunlight. During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where sunlight is converted into chemical energy.


Which process takes place in the cells of Spirulina that does not occur in the cells of a human?

Spirulina cells are capable of photosynthesis, a process where they convert sunlight into energy using chlorophyll. This process does not occur in human cells.


What do plant cells have that makes them different from anilmal cells?

In Plant Cell, energy is produced from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis while In animal cells, energy is produced from food (glucose) via the process of cellular respiration.
