A. Make food - Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which organisms convert sunlight into energy-rich organic molecules. Without chloroplasts, the Euglena would not be able to produce its own food.
L. Provide structure and support - The cell wall and cytoskeleton are responsible for providing structure and support to the cell. Chloroplasts are not directly involved in this function.
I. Direct cell functions - The nucleus is responsible for controlling and directing all the cell's activities. Chloroplasts do not have a role in directing cell functions.
L. Control what enters the cell - The cell membrane is responsible for controlling the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Chloroplasts do not have a role in this function.
1. Photosynthesis: The chloroplast contains chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light energy from the sun. This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a sugar) and oxygen. This process is known as photosynthesis and is essential for the production of energy-rich molecules that sustain the cell.
2. Synthesis of chemical compounds: In addition to glucose, chloroplasts are involved in the synthesis of other important compounds like lipids, proteins, and certain pigments. These compounds are needed for various cellular processes, including growth, repair, and defense mechanisms.
3. Storage of energy: Chloroplasts store the energy captured during photosynthesis within glucose molecules. This stored energy can be used for cellular activities when there is a shortage of light or during periods of high energy demand.
4. Regulation of cellular processes: Chloroplasts play a role in regulating various cellular processes, such as the biosynthesis of amino acids and fatty acids, the production of hormones, and the metabolism of reactive oxygen species.
Overall, the main function of the chloroplast is to convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, facilitating the production of food and energy for the cell.

I. control what enters the cell
I. Control what enters the cell - The cell membrane is responsible for regulating the movement of substances into and out of the cell. It selectively allows certain molecules to enter or exit while preventing others. Without a cell membrane, Daphnia cells would not be able to control the flow of substances and maintain a stable internal environment.
Additionally, the cell membrane also plays a role in other functions such as cell signaling, communication, and maintaining cell shape and integrity. Without a cell membrane, Daphnia cells would experience significant difficulties in these essential functions.

Approximately what percent of cell mass do chloroplasts occupy in Cell 1?
If Ivy's bedroom door is 0.75 m wide in real life, you need to divide this width by the scale ratio of 10.
0.75 m / 10 = 0.075 m
Therefore, the width of the door on the scale drawing should be 0.075 meters. This is based on the assumption that the scale ratio is 1:10, where one unit on the scale drawing represents ten times smaller in real life.
To find the scale ratio, we can set up a proportion:
1 centimeter / 0.75 meters = x centimeters / 1 meter
Simplifying the proportion:
1 / 0.75 = x / 1
Solving for x:
x = 1 / 0.75
x = 1.33 centimeters
Therefore, the width of the door on the scale drawing should be 1.33 centimeters.
Let's assume the scale ratio is 1:x, where 1 unit on the scale drawing corresponds to x units in real life.
We know that Ivy's bedroom door is 0.75 meters wide in real life. Our goal is to find the value of x such that the width of the door on the scale drawing is one centimeter (0.01 meters).
We can set up a proportion using the given measurements:
1 centimeter / x = 0.01 meters / 0.75 meters
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
0.01 meters * x = 1 centimeter * 0.75 meters
0.01x = 0.75
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 0.01:
x = 0.75 / 0.01
x = 75
Therefore, the width of the door on the scale drawing should be 1 centimeter if the scale ratio is 1:75.
0.75 meters / x = 1 centimeter / 1
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
0.75 meters = x * 1 centimeter
0.75 meters = x centimeters
Now, since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter, we can convert 0.75 meters to centimeters:
0.75 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 75 centimeters
So, dividing 0.75 meters by a value would give us 75 centimeters, not 1 centimeter. Therefore, there seems to be a mistake in the given answer.
