The organelle which is most likely to be missing from leaf cells is Lysosomes.

Lysosomes are an important organelle for eukaryotic animal cells as they contain the digestive enzymes. The macromolecules or foreign matter which are harmful for the cells enter the animal cells easily but not the plant cells as the plant cells contain cell walls. Phagocytosis or digestion of macromolecules is not much needed in plant cells so a lysosome can be missing from the leaf cell.

A cell is the most basic form of life. It is what most of the organisms are made off. For the organism to function, the cell must also function. It has organelles too that helps functions what the microorganisms need. A leaf cell contains chloroplasts that animal cells and other cells do not have. The chloroplast is where the photosynthesis happens. It needs sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. Notice that the leaf has a broader surface area to enable them to be exposed to the sun.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the cell structures undergo repeated breakdown and formation.

Explanation:

The carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids are the three important bio-molecules which form the components of various cellular structures.

In the given question, the cell biologist radiolabeled these biomolecules and then observed the cellular structures after cell metabolism. He found that few cellular structures contained radiolabeled structures and few not. This showed that the cellular structures constantly undergo changes in their structures due to cellular metabolic reactions and are broken down and reformed.

Thus, the cell structures undergo repeated breakdown and formation is the correct answer.

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because Molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) can absorb energy from infrared (IR) radiation. This animation shows a molecule of CO2 absorbing an incoming infrared photon (yellow arrows). ... This ability to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes CO2 an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas. And it will lead to green house effect...
