multiple choice 1 point
a plant cell has a defect that results in the loss of its ability to make their own food by using energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. as a result, the plant dies. in which of the following structures is this defect most likely to be located?
a) ribosome
b) cell wall
c) vacuole
d) chloroplast

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells. A defect in chloroplasts would prevent the plant from using solar - energy to make food. Ribosomes are for protein synthesis, cell walls provide structure and protection, and vacuoles are for storage and maintaining turgor pressure.

Answer:

D. Chloroplast
