Question

What is the most likely pathway for root cells to obtain energy and identify the organelles involved

Answer 1

Answer:

By 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. Once sugar gets to the root cells, cellular respiration can break down sugar into energy. Cellular respiration starts with glycolysis which occurs in the cytoplasm but the process completes in the mitochondria.

Answer 2

Cells in the roots of plants get their energy through a vascular transportation system within the plant by vessels called phloem.

The energy is produced through photosynthesis and converted to useable energy form by cellular respiration.

Plant veins transport water, nutrients, and energy to the rest of the plant. Plants absorb water and nutrients through their roots and make glucose and transport energy, they use their vascular system to move the water and nutrients up into the rest of the plant and to the roots from leaves.

• Plants cells convert light energy or radiant energy to glucose which is transported to the various parts of the plant to provide it as fuel for their functions with help of chloroplast.
• Phloem is one of the vessels that helps in the transportation of sugar or glucose from leaves to the rest of the plant body including roots.
• In roots, these glucose molecules are converted to ATPs by the process called cellular respiration within the mitochondria.

Thus, the correct answer is - veinous transport system.
