Question

Cells that can use light energy to make food are?

Answer 1

Autotrophic

Answer 2

Photovoltaic cells can convert light energy to electrical energy and can be used for cooking,

Answer 3

Photosynthetic, they contain specialised organelles known as chloroplasts.  Chloroplasts are composed of highly folded membranes known as thylakoids.  In the membrane the pigments such as chlorophyll and beta-carotene absorb light energy of a specific frequency and an electron is excited and lost.  This electron passes down carriers which releases energy allowing ATP to be formed.  The lost electron from the the chlorophyll molecule is regained from the photolysis of water, this is also produces reduced NADP.  This is the light-dependant reaction.

In the light independent reaction otherwise known as the calvin cycle glucose is formed formed from a series of reactions which involves the utilisation of ATP and reduced NADP, the two reactions are therefore codependent.  Carboxylation (addition of carbon dioxide) of ribulose bisphosphate forms an unstable molecule that decomposes into glycerate phosphate the above molecules (ATP and NADP) are utilised here to produce triosephosphate from which glucose the "food" molecule is made.

Answer 4

Plants! It's called "photosynthesis".
