If the chloroplasts in a plant's cells became damaged, the most immediate consequence would be:
b. The plant would not make glucose and oxygen.
Chloroplasts are essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. If the chloroplasts are damaged, this process would be impaired, leading to a lack of glucose production, which is vital for the plant’s energy and growth. While the other options may have indirect effects due to overall plant health, the direct consequence of damaged chloroplasts is the inability to perform photosynthesis effectively.
