What is a double membrane organelle that captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy through photosynthesis?

A chloroplast is a double membrane organelle that captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy through photosynthesis. It contains chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy, and carries out the complex series of reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars.


Cell organelle which converts food energy into cellular?

Mitochondria. However, it only converts glucose (a simple sugar) to ATP (usable energy). There are many more enzymes that break down complex sugars to simple sugars. Glucose is the ONLY form of sugar that the mitochondria can convert to ATP. Other simple sugars like galactose and fructose need to be converted to glucose first.


Which plant cell organelle captures and stores sunlight energy for photosynthesis?

The chloroplast is the plant cell organelle that captures and stores sunlight energy for photosynthesis. It contains chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy that is used to produce sugars.


Which organelle converts nutrients into energy in an animal cell?

The mitochondria is the organelle that converts nutrients into energy through a process called cellular respiration. This energy is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary energy currency of the cell.


What organelle makes ATP from sugars?

The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for producing ATP from sugars through the process of cellular respiration. It uses glucose and oxygen to generate ATP molecules that cells can use as an energy source.
