Do cells extract energy?

Yes, cells extract energy through the process of cellular respiration, which happens in organelles like mitochondria. During cellular respiration, cells break down nutrients like glucose into usable energy in the form of ATP. This energy is then used by the cell to perform various functions and maintain cellular processes.


What are the cell called that harnesses the suns energy for electricity?

The cells that harness the sun's energy for electricity are called solar cells, or photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.


Is solar energy same as solar cells?

No, solar energy and solar cells are not the same, although sometimes people do use the phrases as though they were interchangable. Solar energy is energy that is transferred from the sun to the earth. Solar cells are devices that turn energy from the sun into photovoltaic energy that we can use.


What changes light to electrical energy?

Photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar cells, convert light energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. When photons from sunlight hit the cell, they knock electrons loose from atoms, generating an electric current.


What is an example of how energy from the sun gets into your cells?

Energy from the sun is captured by plants through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. When you consume plants or plant-eating animals, you directly or indirectly obtain this stored energy, which is then broken down in your cells through cellular respiration to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells.
