The structures that convert oxygen and glucose into energy are primarily the mitochondria, known as the "powerhouses of the cell." Within the mitochondria, a process called cellular respiration occurs, which includes glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. This process generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell, by utilizing oxygen to fully oxidize glucose.
The end product of photosynthesis is 2 G3P (PGAL) (per 1/2 glucose (1 turn of the Calvin Cycle)) which is then used to create glucose or starches. Oxygen is a waste product.
Yes, glucose can be broken down through a process called cellular respiration where it combines with oxygen to produce water as a byproduct. This occurs in cells to generate energy for the body.
Thylakoids inside of the chloroplasts trap sunlight. They convert the sunlight to carbon dioxide and then to glucose. This in turn gives energy to the plant. The plant then releases oxygen. This process is known as photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (food) and oxygen as byproducts.
Animals convert glucose into energy primarily in their cells through a process called cellular respiration. This process mainly occurs in the mitochondria, often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the main energy currency of the cell. Additionally, some energy production occurs in the cytoplasm through glycolysis, where glucose is partially broken down.
Mitochondria do, they create energy by doing what is basically reverse-photosynthesis, they take oxygen and glucose and turn it into energy and carbon dioxide, which is what plants need for photosynthesis.you should find out for yourself(x
A plant uses the sun's energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
The end product of photosynthesis is 2 G3P (PGAL) (per 1/2 glucose (1 turn of the Calvin Cycle)) which is then used to create glucose or starches. Oxygen is a waste product.
Oxygen is the gas used by living things to turn food into energy through the process of cellular respiration. During respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose into ATP, the energy currency of cells. This process releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
The chloroplasts. they get energy from the sun, and combine it with Carbon dioxide, and water and turn them into glucose and oxygen as waste products6CO2 +6 H2O -(energy- sun)> C6H12O6 + 6O2(carbon dioxide) + (water) -(sunlight)> (glucose) + (oxygen)waste products
No, respiration means 'getting energy from food using oxygen.' it actually has nothing to do with breathing. its the process in which energy is taken from the food you eat and oxygen helps to turn it into glucose.

Plants use a process called photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. This process involves the absorption of light by chlorophyll in the plant's cells, which in turn triggers a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The plant uses the glucose as energy for growth and maintenance, while releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
Cells use a process called cellular respiration to convert oxygen and food molecules into energy. This involves breaking down glucose into energy in the presence of oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. The energy produced is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell to use.
The process that you describe is called, "Photosynthesis".
Plants get their energy from sunlight which in turn makes glucose and sugars.
