Question

Energy flow in plants -- concept map plants are best known for their ability to perform photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. but plants don't just make sugars; they use them, too. like animals, plants must break sugars down to fuel cellular work. in this activity, you will complete a concept map showing the interrelatedness of sugar production and sugar breakdown in a plant cell. g

Answer 1

A mutually dependent relationship exists between chloroplast and mitochondria in the plant cell. Photosynthesis, which occur in the chloroplasts,generates the sugar and oxygen gas that are used in mitochondria for cellular respiration. It generates carbon-dioxide which in turn is used as a carbon source for the synthesis of sugars during photosynthesis.
