1 Most cells use ATP as their main form of energy. 2  Most eukaryotic cells, including plant cells, get their ATP from the process of cellular respiration.3  Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria. 2  Following this logic, if plant cells use ATP, and ATP is made in the mitochondria, then plant cells must have mitochondria. 3  Plants need to do something with all that glucose they make!
Energy Cycle in Living Things. A fascinating parallel between plant and animal life is in the use of tiny energy factories within the cells to handle the energy transformation processes necessary for life. In plants, these energy factories are called chloroplasts. They collect energy from the sun and use carbon dioxide and water in the process called photosynthesis to produce sugars. Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria. These produce a versatile energy currency in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This high-energy molecule stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do. The energy cycle for life is fueled by the Sun. The main end product for plants and animals is the production of highly energetic molecules like ATP . These molecules store enough immediately available energy to allow plants and animals to do their necessary work.
