Question

question 6 of 10
how would a loss of chlorophyll most likely affect cellular respiration in plant cells?
a. the krebs cycle will supply energy to all the cells.
b. more glucose will be broken down by glycolysis.
c. less glucose will be available for energy production.
d. carbon dioxide will be produced in chloroplasts.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is crucial for photosynthesis, which produces glucose. Without it, less glucose is made. Glucose is needed for cellular respiration (like glycolysis, Krebs cycle). So, less glucose means less energy production. Options A: Krebs cycle needs glucose. B: Less glucose, not more. D: Carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis (in chloroplasts with chlorophyll), not produced there in this context.

Answer:

C. Less glucose will be available for energy production.
