The correct response is:

**They break down worn-out cell parts that are no longer needed.**

Lysosomes are important to cell health because they contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, cellular debris, and worn-out organelles, helping to maintain cellular homeostasis and recycle components for new cellular structures.

The correct response is:

**The plant would not make glucose and oxygen.**

Chloroplasts are essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, producing glucose and oxygen as byproducts. If chloroplasts are damaged, the plant would be unable to perform photosynthesis effectively.

Using your understanding of the function of chloroplasts and specialized cells, infer why plant root cells lack chloroplasts.(1 point)

Responses

Roots are underground and are not exposed to sunlight.
Roots are underground and are not exposed to sunlight.

Roots require fewer nutrients.
Roots require fewer nutrients.

Root cells have many mitochondria.
Root cells have many mitochondria.

Root cells have two central vacuoles.

The correct response is:

**Roots are underground and are not exposed to sunlight.**

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, which requires sunlight. Since root cells are located underground and do not have access to light, they do not have chloroplasts. Instead, their primary function is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?(1 point)

Responses

Prokaryotes lack ribosomes to make proteins.
Prokaryotes lack ribosomes to make proteins.

Prokaryotes use RNA instead of DNA.
Prokaryotes use RNA instead of DNA.

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles.

Prokaryotes lack a cell membrane on the outside.

The correct response is:

**Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles.**

The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles, including a defined nucleus, whereas eukaryotic cells do.
