Question

Why could a loss of chlorophyll limit cellular respiration in plants?

A. There would be too much carbon dioxide produced.

B. There would be less glucose produced for respiration.

C. There would be too much oxygen produced.

D. There would more ATP molecules produced.

Answer 1

I believe it is B. There would be less glucose produced for respiration

Answer 2

Option(b)

A loss of chlorophyll limit cellular respiration in plants as there would be less glucose produced for respiration.

Step-by-step explanation

We all know the plants produce their own food with the help of sunlight and water, this process is known as photosynthesis. Every cell of the plant utilizes glucose molecules for cellular respiration when oxygen is present. Chlorophyll is the essential thing for the photosynthesis process, as a result of it it produces sugar.

Without the fuel sugar the plant cannot undergo cellular respiration for the conversion of that produced sugar into a energy form such as ATP. So, loss of chlorophyll in leaves will hinder the production of glucose and hence, cellular respiration will decrease in plant cells.
