What would happen to a plant if the chloroplasts in its cells became damaged?

Question

A. The plant would be unable to reproduce
B. the plant would be unable to make protein
C. the plant would not have a rigid structure
D. the plant would not make glucose and oxygen

Answer 1

If the chloroplasts in a plant's cells became damaged, the correct answer would be:

D. the plant would not make glucose and oxygen.

Chloroplasts are essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, specifically glucose, and release oxygen as a byproduct. If chloroplasts are damaged, the plant would be unable to perform photosynthesis effectively, leading to a lack of glucose and oxygen production.
