Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What will most likely be the result if all of the mitochondria are removed from a plant cell?
A
It will be unable to carry out respiration.
B
It will lose water through osmosis
C
It will break down the ribosomes in the cell.
D
It will be unable to photosynthesize.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Energy metabolism of the cell gets reduced’

Detailed explanation-2: -More mitochondria are needed to make more energy, particularly in high-energy demand organs such as the heart, muscles, and brain. When the number or function of mitochondria in the cell are disrupted, less energy is produced and organ dysfunction results.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of cells, as they converts nutrients into energy using biochemical processes. These processes are also known as cellular respiration, where carbon dioxide and water are released. Therefore, if Mitochondria stop working, that means there is no respiration and the cells would die.
