Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which do plant cells break down for energy?
A
Salt
B
Sugar
C
Pollen
D
Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. In mitochondria, through the process of cellular respiration breaks down sugar into energy that plant cells can use to live and grow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria play host to one of the most important processes in your body, called cellular respiration. Taking in glucose and oxygen, mitochondria produce energy, which they capture and package as energy-rich molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch. Cellulose is used in building cell walls.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They make their own food, and then break down those glucose molecules later, generating ATP to power their cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Just like our digestive system breaks down the food we eat, cells must break down glucose to use it. Cells use oxygen to break down glucose and release its energy during a process called cellular respiration. This process is all about changing food into a form of energy cells can actually use called ATP.
