Cell membrane. allows materials in and out of cell
Mitochondria. use energy from sun to make sugars
Cytoplasm. Acts like pump to control movement
of nutrients
Chloroplast. Provides the cell with most of its
. energy
What error did Mercedes make when creating her table?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Mercedes made an error in stating that Chloroplast provides the cell with most of its energy. In reality, chloroplasts use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars through a process called photosynthesis. It is the mitochondria that actually produce energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. So, the function listed for Chloroplast should be revised to "Uses energy from the sun to make sugars" and the function listed for Mitochondria should be revised to "Provides the cell with most of its energy."
