Question

Which cell organelle underwent a change that caused this plant to wilt and droop? Which cell organelle helps the plant maintain its structure during such stress?Which condition is required for viruses to reproduce?

Answer 1

Answer: A vacuole undergoes a change in the plant causing wilting and droping.

Explanation:

The vacuole is an organelle, which is a store house of excess water and stored materials. During dehydration, the plant uses water from vacuole. Thus water and stored materials reservoirs get consumed up in this process, the plant experiences scarcity of water. This causes wilting and droping of plant.

The cell membrane is an envelop outside the cells, which causes plants to maintain their structure during stress for example, plant exposed to hypertonic solution. This prevents the cells to burst.

A virus require a living host. A host can be a plant, animal, human, or any other living organism. It does not have a cellular machinery thus uses host cell machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce its progeny.
