Glycolysis is the process that converts the energy stored in food into a form that cells can use. It takes sugar from food and breaks it down through the mitochondria to make ATP.

Why do plant cells need energy from the sun?

Plants need energy from the sun for food, they do this through photosynthesis which is the cells of the leaves (palisade cells, and inside those, chloroplasts), gathering the suns energy and changing it into glucose. the plant can then use this glucose for food. :)


What cell caputres energy and producess food?

All cells "capture" energy, and are able to convert that energy into food. Plant Cells (Prokaryotes) capture the energy emitted from the sun and convert that into energy so they can survive (Photosynthesis).


How do cells get the energy to do their daily activities?

Plant cells synthesize their food by photosynthesis. Animal cells can not do like plants, so it needs to be taken.Digestion of food molecules will help the cells to make energy(ATP).


Why are chloroplast found in plant cells and not animal cells?

plant cells have chloroplast because it needs to store sunlight and to make food whereas human cells take energy from the food we eat

Do plant cells help make the plants make food?

Yes, plant cells help make food through a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts within plant cells contain chlorophyll that captures sunlight, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar), providing the plant with energy.
