They make glucose through the process of photosynthesis. Since that process uses light as it's source of energy, it can't go on at night.

Can chloroplasts make Glucose at night?

Chloroplasts must capture the sunlight during the day and make it into Glucose, STARCH, or store it in the mitochondria as ATP energy. After this happens they will then rely on the mitochondria for glucose at night. Either way, the plant must have energy at all times. Hence why it is stored in the mitochondria.


What can plants do with their chloroplasts that animals cannot do?

Plants can make their own food!Plants can photosynthesise. Makin glucose from waterand carbon dioxide using light.


Do mitochondria produce food from sunlight?

No, mitochondria are not photoreactive. It is the chlorophyll in chloroplasts that allows them to use light energy. Mitochondria do not have anything in them to do this. Instead, they make energy by breaking apart glucose.They use light energy indirectly.They use glucose as the fuel. Glucose contain energy from sun light


What uses energy to make food?

Chloroplasts convert energy into glucose.


What do chloroplasts use to make glucose?

water, carbon dioxide, and energy (light)


What do the chloroplasts of green plants use carbon dioxide of?

To make glucose and Oxygen


What do chloroplasts make food in the form of?

Chloroplasts make food in the form of glucose through a process called photosynthesis. This process involves capturing sunlight energy and converting it into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules.


Why is it necessary to have 6 CO2 enter the chloroplasts?

It is not necessary.But you need 6 CO2 moles for make 1 glucose mole.


Why do plant cell need chloroplasts?

Plant cells need chloroplasts because they are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy and uses it to produce glucose, which the plant can use for energy. Without chloroplasts, plants would not be able to make their own food and would not survive.


Why cant plants produce sugar over night?

In the the night time there is no sun, hence no light. During the day a plant will use chloroplasts to make glucose, which is then stored as plant starch. When there is no sun for an extended period of time a plant can get energy from tubers. A tuber is a modified plant structure, under ground, where it can store excess glucose. (sugar is basically the same as glucose)


Why can the plant cell not use the ATP produced in chloroplasts?

They are used to make glucose. Mitochondria is used for that


What organelle takes the product of the chloroplasts to make ATP?

That organelle is the mitochondria. It use glucose for respiration
