Chloroplasts play an important role in energy production in plant cells. However, some parts of a plant, like the roots, lack chloroplasts. In one to two short sentences, explain the most likely pathway for root cells to obtain energy, and identify the organelles involved.(2 points)
Root cells obtain energy through the process of cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria. These organelles convert glucose and oxygen into ATP, the primary energy molecule used by cells.
can you type it in like a 7th grader would?
Root cells get their energy from a process called cellular respiration, which happens in something called the mitochondria. The mitochondria take sugar and oxygen and turn it into energy molecules called ATP for the cell to use.
