Which of the following would most likely happen if the atp synthesis in the mitochondria of a plant's cells suddenly operated poorly?

the plant cells would use adp for fuel instead of atp since there would be an abundance of adp.

the plant cells would stop photosynthesis so there is no build-up of excess glucose in the cytoplasm.

the plant cells would die because they wouldn't extract enough energy from the glucose produced in photosynthesis.

the plant cells would function normally since they would make all the sugars they need during photosynthesis.

Correct C). The plant cells would die because they wouldn't extract enough energy from the glucose produced in photosynthesis.  

The main function of mitochondria is to convert the carbohydrates formed by the photosynthesis into the carbon dioxide and water. If it does not function properly then plant would not be able to convert glucose into energy. It converts the energy present in the food in the ATP, which can be used as a chemical energy by the cell.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
