What converts sunlight to chemical energy on the plant cell?

The organelle which converts solar energy into useable energy for the plant is called the chloroplast. The chloroplast contains chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants which traps light and converts it into glucose, water, and oxygen.


How are the rate of photosynthesis and the growth rate of grass related -?

Energy is needed to reproduce. Photosynthesis is how plants make "food". That "food" is turned into energy by cellular respiration. So, the more cycles of photosynthesis are done, the faster a plant grows.


Where is photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water, and light energy is turned into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen and turned into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As you can see, the are both really a big cycle.


What is the organelle in a plant that uses energy from sunlight to make sugar?

The organelle is the chloroplast. Also note that sunlight is a form of energy, so it does not have to be turned into energy, but it does get turned into a form of energy that is biologically useful, which is chemical energy rather than electromagnetic radiation.


What happens to a plant in the dark?

Since plants conduct photosynthesis during the day, the glucose which they make during the day or when the sun is present is used in cellular respiration during the night. In addition, the energy they have stored during the day is just used for survival at night.

Energy efficiency ideas?

Photosynthesis is when the plants get minerals from the sun, to make plant food, the sun is the energy which is then turned to chemical from photosynthesis.


What happens to chemical energy in the battery when you use an electric toothbrush?

The chemical energy of the battery in your toothbrush is turned into radiant energy (heat), and kinetic energy (movement).


What is the energy producing organelle in a plant cell?

Chloroplast, Chloroplasts is the site of photosynthesis, where the suns energy is turned into chemical energy

What energy transformation takes place when you burn coal?

Radiant energy -> photosynthesis -> time, heat pressure = coalcoal gets burned- > heats water- > turns a turbine-> turns a generator -> produces electricity.


Does plants have energy from the sun?

Yes they get energy through photosynthesis. The chlorophyll inside plant cells convert sunlight into ATP which goes to the mitochondria and is turned into energy


Describe the way energy changes form when an electric light is turned on?

When an electric light is turned on, electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. The electrical energy powers the light bulb, causing it to emit light. Some of the electrical energy is also transformed into heat energy due to the resistance within the light bulb.


How do you describe the changes in energy in a light bulb?

When a light bulb is turned on, electrical energy is transformed into light (radiant) energy and heat energy. This conversion process results in changes in energy form but the total energy remains constant, following the law of conservation of energy.


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.


Is hot chemical or physical?

Heat is a form of energy (the kinetic energy present in the vibrations of atoms or molecules). Radiant energy can be turned into heat energy. Potential energy can be turned into heat energy, nuclear energy can be turned into heat energy, electrical energy can be turned into heat energy, magnetic field energy can be turned into heat energy and chemical energy can be turned into heat energy. There is no such thing as "physical" energy (in terms of Physics). Also your use of the term "evolved" can not be applied to a changing in type of energy, the term refers to the genesis of living things.


How is energy turned to mass What is an example of turning energy to mass?

Energy can be turned into mass through the process of pair production, where a high-energy photon creates a particle-antiparticle pair. An example of turning energy into mass is when a gamma-ray photon interacts with an atomic nucleus, leading to the production of an electron-positron pair.


What is sunlight captured by?

Sunlight is captured by plants which is photosynthetic and is turned into plant food and also photovoltaics. Photovolitics is the creation of voltage or solar energy, where photosynthesis is plant food and helps in the fossil fuel.
