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.(2 points)/

Answer 1

Root cells primarily obtain energy through the process of cellular respiration, where they metabolize glucose and other organic molecules. The organelles involved in this process are mitochondria, which convert the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for cellular activities.
