What else can I help you with?
Does chloroplast release energy when they break down glucose?
No, chloroplasts are responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, not breaking down glucose for energy. Mitochondria are the organelles in cells responsible for breaking down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.
What is a compound made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms that is used by cells to store and release energy. sugars are made by chloroplasts through photosynthesis and consumed by mitochondriia?
The compound you are referring to is glucose, a simple sugar (monosaccharide) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Glucose is produced by chloroplasts in plants during photosynthesis and serves as a primary energy source. Cells then utilize mitochondria to break down glucose through cellular respiration, releasing stored energy for various biological functions.
What are the functional differences between chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Chloroplast are found in plant cells and use the sunlight to break down carbon dioxide and water into oxygen, glucose and water. Mitochondria is found in animal cells and breaks down glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, heat energy and water.
What meet the energy needs of the plant cell?
The energy needs of a plant cell are primarily met through photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose. Chloroplasts in plant cells contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and facilitates the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Additionally, plant cells utilize cellular respiration to break down glucose and release energy for various cellular activities. This dual process ensures a continuous supply of energy to support growth and metabolism.
How does a green algae store food?
Green algae store food in the form of starch, which is produced through photosynthesis. Starch is stored in specialized organelles called chloroplasts. When the algae needs energy, it can break down the stored starch to release glucose for fuel.
Does chloroplast release energy when they break down glucose?
No, chloroplasts are responsible for converting light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, not breaking down glucose for energy. Mitochondria are the organelles in cells responsible for breaking down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.
What does cellular respiration break down in order to release energy?
glucose is broken down in glycolysis during respiration to release energy
What process in cells in needed to break down glucose to release energy?
cellular respiration
A feature of catabolic reactions is that they?
break down larger molecules into smaller ones to release energy.
What are the functional differences between chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Chloroplast are found in plant cells and use the sunlight to break down carbon dioxide and water into oxygen, glucose and water. Mitochondria is found in animal cells and breaks down glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, heat energy and water.
Mitochondrion breaks down what?
They break down glucose to release energy.That energy is stored in ATP.
How do cells transform energy from one form to another through the process of photosynthesis and respiration?
In photosynthesis, cells convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process takes place in chloroplasts and involves the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. In respiration, cells break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP, which is used for cellular activities. Oxygen is required in respiration to help extract energy from glucose.
Do body cells use cellular respiration to break down glucose?
To release oxygen or to requried energy
How does a green algae store food?
Green algae store food in the form of starch, which is produced through photosynthesis. Starch is stored in specialized organelles called chloroplasts. When the algae needs energy, it can break down the stored starch to release glucose for fuel.
How are mitochondria and chloroplasts and aerobic cell respiration and phtosynthesis the opposite of each other?
The mitochondria is where aerobic respiration takes place to create energy for the cell in an animal. In plants, the chloroplasts take the energy from sunlight to provide the energy needed for the cell.
Where does phorosynthesis take place?
In the chloroplasts or chlorophyll of the cells of a plant. Where Glycolosis, the Kregs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain break down Carbon Dioxide, Water, and energy from the Sun, into Oxygen and Glucose sugars.
When your body needs energy what does it break down in the liver and what does it release into the bloodstream?
The liver stores glycogen. When the body uses it for energy it converts the glycogen to glucose.
