True or False: If a plant cell lost all of its chloroplasts except one, the cell could still function as a whole.

False.

There are many chloroplasts in a plant cell so the plant can produce more useable energy. If it had a lot before and that number quickly reduces, it will slowly lose the ability to produce energy for itself causing it to no longer be able to function.
