what cells can make energy from sugar molecules?
-only plant and animal cells
-only animal cells
-plant, animal, bacteria, and protist cells
-only plant cells
Plant, animal, bacteria and protist cells all can use sugar to make energy
Plant cells and bacterial cells can use photosynthesis and animal cells do cellular respiration (more specifically- glycolysis).
can you help me with this as well?
which of the following types of cells need to make energy to perform basic functions like growing, moving, and reproducing?
-animal cells
-animal cells and bacteria cells
-animal cells, bacteria cells, and plant cells
-plant cells
The cells that can make energy from sugar molecules include plant cells, animal cells, bacteria cells, and some protist cells. To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the process of energy production in cells.
Cells convert sugar molecules, such as glucose, into energy through a process called cellular respiration. This metabolic process occurs inside the mitochondria, which are present in both plant and animal cells. The mitochondria use oxygen to break down glucose molecules and produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Plant cells have an additional energy production mechanism called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plant cells use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. This glucose formed through photosynthesis can then be used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
Bacteria and some protist cells also have the ability to produce energy from sugar molecules through cellular respiration. They lack mitochondria but have similar energy-producing structures called mesosomes or infoldings of their cell membrane.
Therefore, the correct answer to your question is: plant, animal, bacteria, and protist cells can all make energy from sugar molecules.
