Question

Which of the following cells would you expect to contain the most chloroplasts?

A. A cell in a plant's flower
B. A cell in a plant's root
C. A cell in a plant's leaf
D. A cell in a plant's stem

Answer 1

C. A cell in a plant's leaf

Chloroplasts help to absorb sunlight in order for the plant to make food. They need to be visible to the sun to "catch" the most light, therefore B is automatically ruled out. Common sense rules out A as flowers bloom due to a healthy plant. A plant can't gain nutrients from a source that needs to grow over time. And D is also ruled out. The stem transports the nutrients such as water throughout the plant's veins.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option- C

Step-by-step explanation:

The chloroplast is a double membrane-enclosed organelle which is programmed to perform an important reaction called photosynthesis.

The chloroplast helps the photosynthesis as they contain photosystems which contain the chlorophyll pigment. The chlorophyll absorbs the energy from the sunlight which initiates the cascade of the electron chain in chloroplasts.

Since the most exposed part of the plant to sunlight are the leaves so they possess these organelles in abundance.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
