this part of organism usually found underground, what organele conspicuously absent?
this is for plant cell is it chloroplast?
if it is stem means it lack of chloroplast where as if it is leaf and young stem parts means the chloroplasts is present in the form of proplastids.
To determine which organelle is conspicuously absent in a part of an organism typically found underground, we first need to understand the basic structures and organelles found in cells.
Within eukaryotic cells, which include the cells of most organisms, there are several organelles, each with specific functions. These organelles include the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, and chloroplasts (in plant cells). However, the organelles present in a particular part of an organism can vary depending on its function.
Underground parts of organisms, such as roots or tubers, are specialized for absorption, nutrient storage, and anchoring. Hence, they usually lack chloroplasts since they are not exposed to light and therefore do not need to perform photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are responsible for capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
Therefore, when considering an organism's underground parts, the organelle conspicuously absent is the chloroplast.
