"when electrons are accelerated, they radiate energy" doesn't make much sense. The problem with doing the physics of atoms is, you need to revise all the known laws of physics.
It is true that a macroscopic charge when accelerated radiates energy in the form of radiation. But the same thing doesn't apply to electrons or any sub atomic particles.
I don't think there is any other way to think about it, and that is that :)
So why can't we think about 'accelerating' electrons? Because, electrons are not really 'things' that we can accelerate. Yes it is nice and simple to think of them as balls of negative charge swirling around a massive nucleus like the planets around the sun, but that is just wrong.
Instead, electrons are based thought as what we call as 'excitation of fields' . Basically we tend to think that electrons are everywhere. At the same time. That is not that difficult to conceptualize. They are just like waves of ocean. Waves in ocean are not things present at a particular point right? They are spread out in space. But there are regions where the wave is big and strong, and regions where the waves die out.
Well electrons are pretty much like that. So think of electrons as waves which are present everywhere in the universe. But those waves are big and strong at a particular distance from the nucleus, in all direction. So there is a spherical region around teh nucleus, where this wave is big and strong. And that is pretty much the model we have today for electrons. So we don't think they are revolving at all. We just think, they are, just there.
So now you see, since there are no 'balls of negative charge' circling around the nucleus, there is no question of 'accelerated electrons radiating light ...

because they are revolving in their own orbits or shell inside the cell
