We have to remember that plants use the light-powered combination of CO2 and H2O, called "photosynthesis", to synthesize carbon hydrates. On the other hand, the main carbohydrate source for animal cells to produce energy is glucose. However, when glucose is scarce in the environment, animal cells can use fructose in order to "switch on" the metabolic pathway to produce energy, mainly in the form of ATP molecules.
What else can I help you with?
For what do cells use glucose?
identify one way cells can use glucose
What is an energy-converting organelle found in plant and algae cells?
Chloroplasts are energy-converting organelles found in green plant cells. Within the chloroplasts are stacks of disks called thykaloids in which photosynthesis takes place, creating carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
Which of the following can serve as as energy source and a structural support in plant cells?
Cellulose can serve as both an energy source and a structural support in plant cells. It is a complex carbohydrate that provides structural integrity to plant cell walls, while also being broken down to release energy during cellular respiration.
What do plant cells create through photosynthesis?
A plant produces oxygen and carbohydrates, such as sucrose, glucose, or starch during photosynthesis.
Organelles in plant cells that function in photosynthesis or storage are called?
Organelles in plant cells that function in photosynthesis or storage are called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the sun. Vacuoles are involved in storage of soluble carbohydrates or proteins.
Do carbohydrates supply energy and fiber in plant cells?
They supply energy but not fibre.
Do Plant cells derive their energy from chlorophyll.?
Plants do not dear be their energy from chlorophyll. However, they use chlorophyll to produce carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, in turn, are used to provide energy for the plant.
Where does the plant cell collect its energy?
I think plant cells have chloroplasts which take in light energy and converts it into carbohydrates by using photosynthesis
What organelle provides the energy for the cell wall?
Plant cells have mitochondria just as animals cells do. These provide the energy for the production of cell walls.Cellulose is the substance that makes up most of a plant's cell walls. Plant cells make their own carbohydrates that they use for energy and to build their cell wall.
Where are carbohydrates stored in cells?
Carbohydrates are sugars that the cell can use to make ATP (energy) through glycolysis, kreb cycle and aerobic respiration.
For what do cells use glucose?
identify one way cells can use glucose
What does a plant produce that provides energy for the plant?
Carbohydrates
What are the functions of carbohydrates?
The functions of carbohydrates are:1.Primary energy source for cells2.Structural material of plant cell walls
What does you body do when you eat vegetables due to the carbohydrates stored in plant cells?
When you eat vegetables, the carbohydrates stored in plant cells are broken down during digestion into glucose, which is then absorbed into the bloodstream to provide energy for your body's cells. Your body uses this glucose either immediately for energy or stores it for later use.
Which carbohydrates is an essential constituent of plant cells?
STARCH
What is an energy-converting organelle found in plant and algae cells?
Chloroplasts are energy-converting organelles found in green plant cells. Within the chloroplasts are stacks of disks called thykaloids in which photosynthesis takes place, creating carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
