Energy-converting organelles

• the two energy-converting organelles are: Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
• energy-converting organelles convert energy from one form to another
• this type of eo is found in algae and plants - chloroplasts
• type of eo that sites of cell respiration- Mitochondria
• a metabolic process that uses oxygen to generate ATP- cell respiration
• chloroplasts use solar energy to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water and does photosynthesis
• plants and algae are autotrophs meaning sourcing nutrients from sunlight. while humans and animals are heterotrophs meaning sourcing nutrients from other organisms
• humans don't need chloroplasts as we get glucose from other sources (food).
