Well, carbohydrates burn and release energy. Nucleic acids give identity (like DNA, RNA). Lipids also give energy, but it's more difficult (they must be first turned into carbohydrates first). Proteins are building blocks for the cells.
Now, knowing all of this should make it easy to choose the correct answer :)

Using a microscope, Quinlin notices a small green organelle inside a cell. Which of the following is most likely to occur first
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

D.The light-dependent reactions absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons.

Explanation:

Firstly, the organelle that was described as small green organelle inside a cell as noticed by Quinlin is the CHLOROPLAST. Chloroplast is an organelle present in the cells of green plants, in fact, it makes plants green. Chloroplast is the organelle where the unique process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS occurs in plant cells.

However, the photosynthetic process is divided into stages namely: light-dependent and light-independent stages. The light dependent stage, which involves the production of ATP (energy carrier) and NADPH (electron carrier), must PRECEDE the light independent stage or Calvin cycle. Chloroplast contains a pigment called CHLOROPHYLL, which absorbs light energy from the SUN in order to power the light dependent stage of photosynthesis.

Hence, the light-dependent reactions, which absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons must occur first in the organelle.

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
larisa [96]
Large central vacuoles, chloroplasts, and cell walls are only found in plant cells.

Large central vacuoles store nutrients and waste products, but they also maintain the plants' structures.

Cell walls also maintain structure and rigidity.

Chloroplasts are used in the process of photosynthesis, which only occurs in plants.
