Question
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.
6 answers
The most likely pathway for root cells to obtain energy is through the process of cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria. This process converts nutrients into ATP, the main energy source for cells.
