Question

question 9 of 10 which of the following effects is likely to result if the chloroplasts are removed from a plant cell? a. the cell will not be able to hydrolyze proteins. b. the cell will not be able to produce glucose through carbon fixation. c. the cell will not be able to synthesize membrane proteins. d. the cell will not be able to generate atp by metabolizing glucose.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis in plant cells. Carbon - fixation is a key step in photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose. Without chloroplasts, this process cannot occur. Protein hydrolysis occurs in lysosomes, membrane - protein synthesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, and ATP generation from glucose metabolism occurs in the mitochondria.

Answer:

B. The cell will not be able to produce glucose through carbon fixation.
