Question

Using your understanding of the function of chloroplasts and specialized cells, infer why plant root cells lack chloroplasts.

(1 point)
© Root cells have two central vacuoles.
O Root cells have many mitochondria.
O Roots require fewer nutrients.
O Roots are underground and are not exposed to sunlight.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is the last one, “roots are underground and are not exposed to sunlight” because the function of a chloroplast is to help in the process of photosynthesis, which requires sunlight, if the roots of a plant is underground and not exposed to sunlight, then having chloroplasts there is pointless.
