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 tho organelles involved.
Root cells likely obtain energy through the process of cellular respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and are responsible for converting nutrients into usable energy in the form of ATP.
