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. formal, but through the knowledge of a 7th grader

Answer 1

Roots obtain energy primarily through a process called cellular respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria. While chloroplasts are responsible for making energy in the form of glucose during photosynthesis in leaves, root cells rely on the glucose transported from the leaves to produce energy in their mitochondria.
