Question

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 the organelles involved
Pls and ty

Answer 1

Root cells don't have chloroplasts .Therefore they can't produce carbohydrates or sugars.

But root cells have other organelles to travel sugars to them .

They have phleom tissues like phloem parenchyma etc .

These tissues take sugar to root cells

Then by cellular respiration sugar breaks down and roots obtain energy

Answer 2

Sugars are transported to the roots from the leaves, in the phloem, and then respiration of these produce ATP which is used to drive their metabolic processes such as active uptake of minerals from the soil. Mitochondria helps the root cell get energy!.

breaking down glucose made in photosynthesis with the mitochondria. Explanation: Root's cannot undergo photosynthesis but sugar can be transported to the roots through the phloem
