Which organelle is the power plant of the cell?

The mitochondria is often referred to as the power plant of the cell because it generates most of the cell's energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.


What do mitochondria do in both plant and animal cells?

Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. This occurs in both plant and animal cells, providing the necessary energy for various cellular activities. Additionally, mitochondria play a role in regulating cell metabolism and signaling pathways.


How do plants get rid of carbon dioxide and water vapor?

How do plants take in oxygenFirst cells in take carbon dioxide and do photosynthesis, which takes water, sugar, and CO2 and then creates oxygen and a green pigment. However, plants breed just like animals and thus use up all the O2 they produce (or almost all). They are auto-sufficient.


How do plants grow in light?

Plants need light for photosynthesis, a process where they convert light energy into chemical energy to produce glucose. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the plant's cells, which triggers a series of reactions to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. This glucose then provides the plant with energy for growth and development.


What are small units that can be seen under high power for a microscope?

Under high power for a microscope, small units such as individual cells, organelles within cells (e.g., mitochondria, chloroplasts), and bacteria can be seen. Subcellular structures like ribosomes and nuclei are also visible at high magnification.
