Plants still go through cellular respiration, which requires only glucose molecules, not sunlight. In cellular respiration, the mitochondria in plant cells go through glycolysis, the Kreb's (Citric Acid) Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to create from 36 to 38 ATP.

Do plant cells produce ATP during photosynthesis?

yesYes,ATP is produced in the light reaction. These are utilized in the dark reaction


Where do plant cells get the energy they need to make ATP?

sunlight


Name 3 products of the Light reaction?

Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH are all products of the light reactions in photosynthesis that occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells.


Chloroplasts can make carbohydrates in the dark if they are provided with enough chemical energy in the form of ATP and?

NADPH, which are produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis. This process is known as the Calvin cycle, which can occur in the absence of light as long as these energy molecules are available.


If you put a plant in the dark will it still be able to make ATP?

Yes. In fact, this happens every night to every plant on the planet that isn't under artificial lighting. The plant oxidizes sugar to make ATP at night, powering its metabolic processes.


How do plant cells use photosynthesis to produce food?

Photosynthesis is a two part process. The first part is the light dependent reaction and it needs light. Light energy is used to make ATP (which takes place in the membrane of the thylakoid). The second part is the Calvin cycle/ light independent reaction and it doesnt need light. It uses the ATP that was made in the light dependent reaction to make glucose (which takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast). Glucose is the food.


Are mitochdria found in plant cells animal cells or both?

Both plant and animal cells contain mitochondria for the synthesis of ATP. Animals eat food to get the material that is used in ATP synthesis and plant make the material used in ATP synthesis through the process of photosynthesis.


Are the mitochondria and chloroplast?

In plant cells, the chloroplast is an organelle that performs photosynthesis, and he mitochondria is an organelle that produces ATP (energy).


What does chloralplast do in a plant cell?

chloroplast are only in plant cells, they use photosynthesis to make ATP which is energy for the cell.


What are the starting molecules for light independent reactions?

ATP and NADPH
