what do plants use atp for
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!
ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate. It is used an energy carrier between cells. It is produced during photosynthesis and is an important part of the metabolism process.Just like in animals, ATP created by the cell and used as an energy source.t is used an energy carrier between cells.
