Which organelle converts the chemical energy stored in the cell so it can be used for cellular processes?
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
What converts the chemical energy stored in food?
Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.
Which of the following organelles is responsible for converting energy from food into a form the cell can use?
Mitochondria
Mitochondria. Mitochondria are complex organelles that convert energy from food into a form that the cell can use. They have their own genetic material, separate from the DNA in the nucleus, and can make copies of themselves.
Which organelle converts the energy food into energy?
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. In cellular respiration sugar with the help of oxygen is broken down into ATP (energy molecule).
What organelle converts chemicals into compounds?
mitochondria
The mitochondria are the organelles that convert various chemicals from food (glucose) into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use,…
How is chemical energy stored in compounds?
Chemical energy is stored in the bonds that connect atoms with other atoms and molecules with other molecules. Because chemical energy is stored, it is a form of potential energy. When a chemical reaction takes place, the stored chemical energy is released.
Which organelles is involved in energy conversions?
Two types of membranous organelles that specialize in energy conversion are the chloroplasts and mitochondria. Chloroplasts use solar energy to make carbohydrates by using photosynthesis. Mitochondria break down carbohydrates to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP supplies the energy the cell needs to do work.
What converts chemical energy into usable energy for the cell?
Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is the process of transforming chemical energy into forms usable by the cell or organism.
What is stored in the lysosomes of the cell?
Lysosomes. The main function of lysosomes is the digestion of internal (non-functional cell organelles) and external (food, bacteria, leukocytes, debris) material. The processed material is either released to the cytoplasm, secreted, or stored in lysosomes.
Where is chemical potential energy stored?
bonds
Potential energy Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy.
