A little sci help peeps..?

Question

okay so bear with me here. I need to know if the following is true or false: If so, what would be the correct info>?

Chloroplasts absorb energy from the sun, which is turned into glucose in the chloroplast, which is converted into ATP in the ribosomes.

Answer 1

Short answer yes it is true

long answer

re previous answer

Chloroplasts are flat discs usually 2-10 micrometer in diameter and 1 micrometer thick. The chloroplast has a two membrane envelope termed the Inner & Outer membrane respectively. Between these two layers is the intermembrane space.

The fluid within the chloroplast is called the stroma, corresponding to the cytoplasm of the bacterium, and contains tiny circular DNA and ribosomes, though most of their proteins are encoded by genes contained in the cell nucleus, with the protein products transported to the chloroplast.

Within the stroma are stacks of thylakoids, the sub-organelles where photosynthesis actually takes place. A stack of thylakoids is called a granum (plural: grana). A thylakoid looks like a flattened disk, and inside is an empty area called the thylakoid space or lumen. The photosynthesis reaction takes place on the membrane of the thylakoid, and, as is also the case with mitochondria, involves the coupling of cross-membrane fluxes with biosynthesis.

Answer 2

That would be false. At least, technically it is...

Ribosomes make proteins. Proteins CAN be broken down to make ATP, but they can also be used to make other things.

The mitochondria is the organelle that makes ATP (in both plants and animals).

So, the statement is FALSE because ATP is made in mitochondria.
