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.

Answer 1

Root cells obtain energy primarily through the process of cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria. These organelles convert glucose, derived from photosynthesis in the leaves and transported via the phloem, into ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
