No,chloroplasts do that. Mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration

How do chloroplast and mitochondria function in the capture and release of energy within the cell?

The chloroplast is in plant cells and takes light and oxygen to create energy for the plant. The mitochondria is in animal cells and takes carbon dioxide and water to create sugar for the cell.


Which membrane-bound organelle do to capture light energy?

Chloroplasts are the membrane-bound organelles that capture light energy in plant cells through a process called photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs light and converts it into chemical energy.


What structures in plant cells capture light energy to produce food?

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells that capture light energy through photosynthesis to produce food in the form of glucose. These organelles contain chlorophyll pigments that absorb light and convert it into chemical energy used for plant growth and development.


What is the primary cellular sites for the capture of energy from carboyhdrates?

Mitochondria is the main cellular site for the capture of energy from carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are important nutrients that provide energy.


Do chloroplast and mitochondria convert chemical energy?

Chloroplast convert light energy. Mitochondria convert chemical energy itself


In plants mitochondria use light energy to make sugar?

No it is not mitochondria. It is the chloroplast


What is the source of light used by mitochondria?

Mitochondria do not use light.Mitochondria use chemical energy.


Does the energy stored in mitochondria make ATP in light reactions?

The term "light reaction" does not really apply when speaking of mitochondria. Mitochondria are like furnaces. You put the wood in, light it, and it gives off heat. You put glucose into the mitochondria and the membranes facilitate the breakdown of that glucose to release the energy that was trapped in the carbon bonds. That energy is now stored as ATP. Mitochondria do not store energy, just as a furnace doesn't store heat. They process the fuel (glucose) to release energy--day or night. "Light reaction" is more aptly applied to photosynthesis, which does depend on light energy for the first part of the reaction.


What is the energy for this process of chloroplasts?

Light energy from sun is used. Chlorophylls capture light energy


Does cellular respiration or photosynthesis capture energy?

Cellular respiration release energy.Photosynthesis capture light energy.


Primary cellular sites for the capture of energy from carbohydrates?

The primary cellular sites for the capture of energy from carbohydrates are the mitochondria. Here, the process of cellular respiration occurs, involving glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Through these processes, energy stored in carbohydrates is gradually released and converted into ATP for cellular functions.


What similarities do mitochondria and chloroplast?

They both present in plant cells, where they work together to capture and convert energy. That is it.
