What would be the advantage(s) to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll?

Biology
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
8 0
Well, first off the spongy mesophyll does have some chloroplasts, however they are located quite far from the surface of the leaf where most of the chloroplasts are. Therefore they don't get much light and don't contribute a lot to photosynthesis in the leaf. So why should the leaf waste the energy in making chloroplasts if there is not enough light to make them all efficient enough at photosynthesis?

f) True

g) True.

c) A DNA molecule has a double helix, that is, two chains. When a DNA chain is broken and a chromatide has a DNA chain, then two chromatids make up a chromosome and a DNA chain, in this way there are eight dsDNA molecules

d) If each chromosome contains a centromere, therefore, there are four centromeres on all four chromosomes.

e) If a chromosome contains four telomeres, therefore there will be sixteen telomeres.

f) The function of cohesin is to regulate the separation of chromatids in the cell division process. When DNA replication is complete, the DNA compacts and condenses to form mitotic chromosomes.

g) The CENPA protein is encoded by the CENPA gene.
