What will most likely be the result if all of the mitochondria are removed from a plant cell?
A
It will be unable to photosynthesize.
B
It will break down the ribosomes in the cell.
C
It will lose water through osmosis.
D
It will be unable to carry out respiration.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What will most likely be the result if all of the mitochondria are removed from a plant cell? It will be unable to carry out respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Posted October 18, 2022. Since eukaryotic cells require aerobic respiration to produce ATP, a lack of a mitochondria would mean the cell wouldn’t have the necessary energy to live. Therefore, the cell would most likely die due to very low or no energy levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria is an important cell organelle that helps in the synthesis of ATP. Hence referred to as the powerhouse of the cell. If a mitochondrion is destroyed in the cell, ATP synthesis will be altered and the cell will not be able to perform metabolic activities due to the absence of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria have an important role in cellular respiration through the production of ATP, using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients. Mitochondria are also responsible for generating clusters of iron and sulfur, which are important cofactors of many enzymes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It produces ATP by the breakdown of a glucose molecule. Without mitochondria, the cell will be dependent on anaerobic respiration for energy, but survival is not possible as the energy produced will be much less compared to aerobic respiration.
