The plasma membrane is like the drain in your sink. When the plant is water stressed, the plasma membrane stops water from going into and out of the cell.
Question 1: What is the function of the chloroplast organelle found in plant cells?
The correct response is A: It is the site of photosynthesis, where glucose is produced.
Question 2: What analogy based on the plant cell structure explains wilting?
The correct response is C: The large vacuole is like a water-filled balloon. When the plant is water stressed, the water leaves the vacuole and the cells shrink.
To answer the questions about plant and animal cells, we'll need to understand the function of chloroplasts in plant cells and an analogy for wilting in plants.
Question 1: What is the function of the organelle, chloroplast, found in plant cells?
To determine the function of chloroplasts, we'll evaluate the provided responses:
A. It is the site of photosynthesis, where glucose is produced.
B. It is the site of cellular respiration, where cellular energy is produced.
C. It is the site of cellular digestion; glucose is broken down to produce energy.
D. It is the site of protein synthesis; amino acids are joined together to make proteins.
The correct response is A. Chloroplasts are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants convert sunlight into glucose, their source of energy. So, option A is the correct answer.
Question 2: What analogy based on the plant cell structure explains wilting?
To determine the analogy, we'll evaluate the provided responses:
A. The chloroplasts are like a factory. When the plant is water stressed, the chloroplast stops producing energy, and the plant wilts.
B. The cell wall is like a cardboard box. When the plant is water stressed, the cell wall folds, like someone crushing the cardboard box.
C. The large vacuole is like a water-filled balloon. When the plant is water stressed, the water leaves the vacuole, and the cell shrinks.
D. The plasma membrane is like the drain in your sink. When the plant is water stressed, the plasma membrane stops water from going into and out of the cell.
The correct response is C. The analogy explaining wilting is that the large vacuole in plant cells is like a water-filled balloon. When a plant is water stressed, the water leaves the vacuole, causing the cell to shrink, and ultimately leading to wilting. So, option C is the correct answer.
In summary:
1. The function of chloroplasts in plant cells is to carry out photosynthesis, where glucose is produced (A).
2. The analogy for wilting in plants is that the large vacuole, acting as a water-filled balloon, loses water, causing the cell to shrink and the plant to wilt (C).
