Question

A cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of a corn plant. Based on this observation, it can be inferred that, when compared to the cell in the stem, the cell in the leafSelect one:

a. synthesizes more sugarb. produces fewer proteinsc. uses less carbon dioxided. has a higher chromosome count

Answer 1

The cell in the leaf synthesizes more sugar.
Chloroplasts function to capture light energy and transform it into chemical energy via the reaction of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces glucose using carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen as a by-product.
