Yes. Both plants and animals have mitochondria and can synthesize ATP there. Plants, though, make the molecules they submit to the respiration process while animals have to ingest such molecules.

Plants need oxygen to release the energy in the food that they make?

Plants require oxygen during cellular respiration to break down the stored energy in food molecules and produce ATP for growth and metabolic processes. This process occurs in plant mitochondria and is essential for plant survival.


Why is carbon dioxide important for a plant?

Carbon dioxide allows plants to undergo the process photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water are turned into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Glucose is converted into ATP (energy) by the plant. The energy is used to conduct cellular processes.


Why do plants need ATP for their cellular processes?

Plants need ATP for their cellular processes because it is the main energy source that powers essential functions like growth, metabolism, and reproduction. ATP provides the energy needed for processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis, which are crucial for plant survival and growth.


Functions of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. It produces energy in the form of ATP for the organism and releases oxygen as a byproduct. Photosynthesis is essential for the survival of plants and many other organisms that depend on them for food and oxygen.


Why do plants need energy?

Plants need energy for photosynthesis, which is the process they use to convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This energy is essential for the plants to grow, develop, and produce food for themselves.

Why do plant cells need to do cellular respiration if they can make ATP from sunlight?

Plants make ATP through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis, which requires sunlight, does not make ATP - but glucose - which is then converted to ATP by cellular respiration. Therefore plants still need respiration to make ATP.

What is one gas that plants give off through photosynthesis?

Plants give of oxygen and need to use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make food. This makes them perfect partners to animals since we give off carbon dioxide and need oxygen to make ATP (energy).

What is the easiest way to explain cellular respiration. i need to remember it for a test and do not want to remember something difficult as im only in year 8 and i do not need great detail.?

The process by which plants break down chemical compounds, into ATP to use as energy. So, basically its saying its the ways plants can make their own food.

Can plants immediately use the food they make from photosynthesis?

Yes, they can make starch, cellulose or put the sugars made in photosynthesis right into their mitochondria to be turned into ATP energy to do cellular work.
