How are mitochondria and chloroplast different?

Chloroplasts have chlorophyll, mitochondria don't. Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis and produce glucose. Mitochondria carry out respiration and break down glucose


What organelle is needed to break glucose in cellular respiration?

The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for breaking down glucose in cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP.


What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?

Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.


What do mitochondria break down?

Glucose, a type of sugar, initially gets broken down via glycolysis in the cytosol into pyruvate molecules. Mitochondria then break down the pyruvate extracting the electrons from them. The simple answer though is that mitochondria break down a sugar called glucose.


What cell does glucose partly break down in?

The Mitochondria in a cell breaks down the Glucose


What is the name given to the types of organisms that exclusively use cellular respiration to break down glucose to produce ATP for energy?

Mitochondria


What organelle is used to break down glucose?

Glucose is broken down during cellular respiration to produce a form of energy the cell can use.The first stage, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. The other phases occur in the mitochondria.


What do mitochondria break down to produce energy?

In aerobic respiration, mitochondria break down oxygen and glucose to make energy, and also make carbon dioxide and water. In anaerobic respiration, they only use Glucose to make energy and also make lactic acid.


Mitochondria break down glucose to form?

Mitochondria break down glucose to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main energy source for cells. This process is known as cellular respiration and occurs in the mitochondria's inner membrane.


Organelles that break down sugar to produce energy?

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 do mitochondria do with the glucose they absorb?

they break down the carbon and oxygen to used in respiration of the cell
