Not every plant cell is photosynthetic. Energy is needed by every cell

Even though plants carry on photosynthesis plant cells still use their mitochondria for oxidation of pyruvate When and where will this occur?
in all cells in both the dark and the light
Is Mitochondrion found in both plant and animal cells?
Yes. Though plant cells use photosynthesis to create glucose, they still must use cellular respiration in mitochondria to produce ATP.
What uses photosynthesis that is not a plant?
Different forms of algae belong to the protist kingdom, but they do still conduct photosynthesis.
Is an immobile plant still a living thing?
Yes. An immobile plant respires and excretes (photosynthesis), even reproduces. That is why we can say that an immobile plant is still a living being.
Why most plant cells contain mitochondria as well?
Although chloroplasts are present inside plant to make food but mitochondria still play a vital role by providing energy required for the various activities of the cell.
If you feed plants plant food does it still make its own food by photosynthesis?
yesa
Would an animal or a plant live longer in a sealed container?
A plant, because it can use photosynthesis to make food and still survive.
Would a plant still grow at the light compensation point?
Yes, a plant can still grow at the light compensation point. The light compensation point is the level of light intensity at which the rate of photosynthesis equals the rate of respiration in a plant. At this point, the plant is able to produce enough energy through photosynthesis to sustain its growth and metabolic processes.
Why doesn't a Venus Flytrap need to go through photosynthesis?
Even though it gets energy and nutrients from bugs, it still uses photosynthesis like any other plant.
What is the purpose of photosynthesis in plant cells?
Plants make there own food/energy using photosynthesis to help them grow and keep alive. But, you still need to water them and give them sunlight. On the other hand sunlight is what starts the process of photosynthesis.
How will you know if a plant underwater undergo photosynthesis?
Yes can, as long as sunlight can still penetrate thru the water and reach the aquatic plants. *As far as i concern*
When leaves change color are they still performing photosynthesis?
While there are leaves that perform photosynthesis and are not green in color, when the leaves of any deciduous plant change color it is part of a process in which decreasing sunlight triggers a decrease in chlorophyll levels as the plant transitions into dormancy for the winter. As such the leaves perform steadily less and less photosynthesis as they change color, finally stopping entirely after they detach from the plant.
