Question

The quantity of each type of organelle in a cell varies depending on the tasks the individual cell must perform. If a scientist needed to find cells that contained a large number of chloroplasts, where would be the best place to look? A: The stem of a young tree B: A flower petal in partial sunlight C: A leaf growing in full sunlight D: The stem of a mature tree

Answer 1

C because chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis which happens mostly on the leaves and in the sun.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C. A leaf growing in full sunlight

The chloroplast is an organelle, which helps the plants to carry out the process of the photosynthesis. The leaves are the main site of the photosynthesis in the plants, hence, they have an abundant number of chloroplasts present in the cells. In the presence of the sunlight, they perform the light dependent reactions of the photosynthesis process. In case, a scientist find out the cell, which have a high number of chloroplast, then the cell must be specialised to perform photosynthesis, hence, the cell would belong to the leaves, which are growing in full sunlight.
