The cell membrane is also called selectively permeable membrane for the sole reason being it is selective in nature.

It forms a physical barrier and as a barrier between the cell and the external environment as it allows only selected necessary molecules to pass through it and at the same time prevents entry of unwanted / unnecessary substances.

It also regulates the entry and exit of molecules into and out of the cell.

The cell membrane permits the entry of vital molecules like

<span>water, oxygen, amino acids and glucose into the cell as they are crucial for various life processes and at the same time metabolic waste products are expelled through the cell membrane.</span>

A chloroplast has stopped producing atp and NADPH
ElenaW [278]

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is as follows:

A chloroplast has stopped producing ATP and NADPH. Which of the following is most likely causing this?

a.The chloroplast has used up its supply of chlorophyll molecules.

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

c.The sun has risen and the chloroplast now can make more chlorophyll.

Answer:

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

ATP and NADPH are produced in the light dependent reaction stage of the photosynthesis that occurs within chloroplast grana.

ATP and NADPH are produced due to the movement of electron and proton (H+) in the electron transport chain, so if the movement of electrons will stopped in the electron transport chain, the formation of ATP and NADPH will also get stop.

Hence, the correct answer is "b".
