What cell caputres energy and producess food?

All cells "capture" energy, and are able to convert that energy into food. Plant Cells (Prokaryotes) capture the energy emitted from the sun and convert that into energy so they can survive (Photosynthesis).


What type of energy conversion carries out Retina cells in the eye the Cochlear cells in the ear and the Taste buds on the tongue?

Retina cells in the eye convert light energy into electrical signals, which are sent to the brain for processing. Cochlear cells in the ear convert sound waves into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound. Taste buds on the tongue convert chemical molecules from food into electrical signals that the brain interprets as taste.


How do plants convert food back into energy?

Plants convert food back into energy through a process called cellular respiration. During this process, plants break down sugars and other organic molecules to release energy that is used for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. The energy is stored in molecules like ATP, which serves as the energy currency for the plant cells.


What structures in plant cells capture light energy to produce food?

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells that capture light energy through photosynthesis to produce food in the form of glucose. These organelles contain chlorophyll pigments that absorb light and convert it into chemical energy used for plant growth and development.


What is the primary function of a mitocondria?

In general, mitochondria are responsible for the energy production in cells and specify the formation of some key components of the energy-producing system. Mitochondria provides about 90% of the energy that cells, and thus tissues, organs and the body as a whole needs to function. The primary function of mitochondria is to convert food into energy. They convert the food we eat into basic chemicals that the cell can use. Hence, they are known as the cells powerhouse

Why is food a source of energy for the body?

Food is broken down into particles which go into your mitochondria (in your cells), which convert the particles into energy.


What changes energy into food in plant cells?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plant cells convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose (food). This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


Does a mitochondrion generates power for your cells by helping convert food to energy your cell can use?

yes


Why is food a source of energy?

Food energy is energy obtained from food through cellular respiration, which is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate.
