What organelle produces food for the plant cells?
chloroplast through a process called photosynthesis where a plant turns sunlight into sugar (food)
What organelles break down food and turn it into energy for cell use?
The organelle that breaks down food and turns it into energy, is called chlorophyll, chloroplasts, and vacuoles.... all true though.
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.
Which organelle makes energy from food?
the chloroplasts
What plant cell captures energy from the sun to make food?
A chloroplast captures sun light and turns it into chlorophyll which is sugar (glucose) All plant cells do that, it's called photosynthasis, there is an organelle within the cell called chloroplast that performs photosynthasis.
What is an organelle that breaks down food and turns it into energy for cells?
The mitochondria
What organelle transforms energy the energy in carbohydrates into molecules of ATP?
Chloraplast
Which organelle convets the chemical energy in food into a form that cells can use?
Mitochondria
What organelle produces food for the plant cells?
chloroplast through a process called photosynthesis where a plant turns sunlight into sugar (food)
Which organelle breaks down food into energy?
Lysosomes, which are only found in animal cells.
Why are chloroplasts always in plant cells but never in animal cells?
Because chloroplasts make their own food, the organelle: CHLOROPLAST, turns solar energy from the sun into chemical energy for food, via a process known as photosynthesis, animals, well, we just tend to buy/attain our food from other sources, we're not autotrophic!
What cellular organelles is responsible for releasing the energy contained in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
What cells of organisms release energy from food?
Every cell releases energy from food: it happens in an organelle called the mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), which is a structure inside the cell.
What organelles break down food and turn it into energy for cell use?
The organelle that breaks down food and turns it into energy, is called chlorophyll, chloroplasts, and vacuoles.... all true though.
What organelle makes food for plants cells?
chloroplast is the organelle that makes food in a plant cell.
What organelle changes the chemical energy in food energy stored in food?
it is the mitochondrion
What the organelle that makes food for plant cells?
if you mean which organelle synthesizes nutrients, chloroplasts
