Question

1. what will most likely be the result if all of the mitochondria plant cell? a. it will be unable to carry out photosynthesis. b. it will lose water through osmosis. c. it will break down the ribosome in the cell. d. it will be unable to photosynthesis. 2. this diagram shows a plant cell. which structure is found in a plant cell but is absent in an animal cell? a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 3. a freshwater plant is placed in a container of saltwater. what will most likely happen to the cells of the plant? a. they will swell because water will move into them. b. they will swell because salt will move into them. c. they will shrink because water will move out of them. d. they will shrink because salt will move out of them

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, responsible for cellular respiration and energy production. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. Osmosis is related to water movement across a semi - permeable membrane and not directly to mitochondria function. Ribosome breakdown is not related to mitochondria. Without mitochondria, the cell cannot produce enough energy through cellular respiration. But the options seem to have some repetition. Assuming the correct understanding, mitochondria are not related to photosynthesis directly.
2. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole that are absent in animal cells. Without seeing the labeled parts of the diagram, we can't specify which one it is exactly, but these are the key structures.
3. When a freshwater plant is placed in saltwater, the saltwater is a hypertonic solution compared to the plant cells' cytoplasm. Water will move out of the plant cells through osmosis from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the cell) to an area of higher solute concentration (the saltwater), causing the cells to shrink.

Answer:

1. None of the options seem entirely correct as written, but the main function of mitochondria is energy - production through cellular respiration and not related to the processes mentioned in the options in the way they are stated.
2. Without seeing the diagram, we can't give a specific answer. But common structures in plant cells not in animal cells are cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole.
3. c. They will shrink because water will move out of them.
