Question

using a light microscope, students observe prepared slides of different types of plant cells and complete the table shown

cell type	description	location in the plant
companion cells	spherical, yellow	vascular tissue
root hair cells	hairlike projections from the roots	roots
sieve cells	long and tapered with overlapping ends	vascular tissue
palisade cells	thin cell wall	leaves

which cell type would most likely contain the highest quantity of chloroplasts?
(1 point)
o root hair cells, because they are located in the roots
o companion cells, because they are spherical and yellow
o sieve cells, because they are long and tapered
o palisade cells, because they are in the leaves

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis. Leaves are the main site of photosynthesis in plants. Palisade cells are located in the leaves and are adapted for photosynthesis, so they are likely to have the highest quantity of chloroplasts. Root hair cells are for absorption in roots, companion cells in vascular - tissue are related to sieve - tube elements, and sieve cells are part of the vascular system for transport, none of which are the main sites for photosynthesis like leaves.

Answer:

palisade cells, because they are in the leaves
