HII BOT. 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 sentences, explain the most likely pathway for root cells to obtain energy, and identify the organelles involved.
Root cells likely obtain energy through the process of cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down to produce ATP. This process takes place in the mitochondria of root cells.

Root cells get their energy by breaking down sugar in a part of the cell called mitochondria. Just like how we eat food to get energy, root cells use this process to stay alive and grow!
