chloroplasts
Chloroplasts in plant cells use the energy in light to produce sugar.
The ribosomes
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
A chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar
Chloroplasts are the organelles specific to green plants that contain the chemical chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis, which allows the plant to produce its own sugar through the process of photosynthesis.
mitochondria
Chloroplasts in plant cells use the energy in light to produce sugar.
The breakdown of sugar (mainly glucose) is called glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. The product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is used to make ATP energy by the Krebs Cycle in the mitochondria.

The ribosomes
Animal cells use forms of sugar to make energy using the organelles called mitochondria.
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.

Chloroplasts are the organelles specific to green plants that contain the chemical chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis, which allows the plant to produce its own sugar through the process of photosynthesis.
To break down sugar and produce useful energy, the cells need many things, but most importantly they need ENZYMES.
Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that convert light energy into sugar through the process of photosynthesis. Within the chloroplasts, the pigment chlorophyll captures the light energy and uses it to drive the chemical reactions that produce sugar molecules.
