While plant cells can use photosynthesis to produce their own food, they still require cellular respiration to convert that food into the more usable currency ATP.

Which cells contain the mitochondria organelle plant cells animal cells or both?

It is in both plant and animal cells. It is needed for aerobic respiration


Chloroplasts are to plants as what are to aerobic respiration?

Mitochondria are to aerobic respiration. Mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells, similar to how chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells.


Why do plant cells have mitochondria in one sentence?

To carry out aerobic respiration. That is to get energy


What is the primary function of the plant cell?

They conduct aerobic respiration. They provide energy needed


Does aerobic respiration occur in plant cells?

Aerobic respiration is a form of respiration used by cells that requires oxygen to create energy. Plants mainly use photosynthesis, but also take in air by way of tiny pores called stomata. This form of aerobic respiration produces oxygen and glucose.


Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?

Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.


What are the organelles where aerobic respiration takes place?

Aerobic respiration primarily takes place in the mitochondria of the cell. The mitochondria are responsible for producing the majority of the cell's energy in the form of ATP through the process of aerobic respiration.


Are mitochondria is found in plant cells?

Yes they can be found.They are needed for respiration


In plant cells which organelle is most closely associated with aerobic respiration?

In plant cells, the organelle most closely associated with aerobic respiration is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for converting the energy stored in glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through processes like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. While chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis, mitochondria play a critical role in energy production during aerobic respiration.


Why do plant cells need both chloroplasts and michondria?

Chloroplasts are needed for photosynthesis. Mitochondria is needed for respiration


Do all plant and animal cells use aerobic cellular respiration?

No, plant cells can also undergo anaerobic respiration under low oxygen conditions. Some animals, like certain species of fish and insects, can also use anaerobic respiration when oxygen levels are limited.


What are the important energy-storing molecules in living organisms?

In a plant cell, starch acts as a storage of glucose for aerobic respiration. In animal cells, glycogen acts as a storage of glucose for aerobic respiration.
