What are cell organelles which convert light energy into sugar called?
Chloroplasts in plant cells use the energy in light to produce sugar.
Where do cells get to produce the energy from?
Animal cells use forms of sugar to make energy using the organelles called mitochondria.
What use ATP to produce sugar?
The energy in glucose (Cellular respiration) is used to produce ATP
What produce use light energy to make?
Producers use light energy through Photosynthesis to make a sugar from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. This sugar is called Glucose (O2)
What do leaves do with solar energy?
Leaves use the solar energy combined with water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sugar, or energy. This process is called photosynthesis.
What is the process of breaking down sugar to produce energy in animal cells?
That is called "Glycolysis". See the link for an animation.
What sugar is burned in the cell to produce energy?
The sugar that is burned in the cell to produce energy is glucose. Glucose has energy stored in it's chemical bonds and is used in cellular respiration.
How do leaves produce their own food?
through a process called "photosynthesis"; the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. The bonds of simple sugar (glucose), is the plant's food.
What brakes sugar down to produce energy?
It is a organ
Where inside plants does the body break down sugar to produce energy?
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
How does sugar and fat differ?
Sugars produce short-term energy. Fats produce energy that lasts longer and does not give the typical crash after the fat is digested like sugar does.
What organelle that break down sugar to produce energy?
The ribosomes
