Acell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of a corn plant. based on this observation, it can be inferred that, when compared to the cell in the stem, the cell in the leaf
select one:
a. synthesizes more sugar
b. produces fewer proteins
c. uses less carbon dioxide
d. has a higher chromosome count

The plant cell is the fundamental unit of life for plants. The cell is made up of cytoplasm, plastid, chloroplasts, cell wall, and many developed cell organelles.

The leaf of the corn plant has more chloroplast than the stem because leaves play a vital role in synthesizing sugar.

Chloroplasts are the small circular organelle found in the plant cell. The chloroplasts absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

The organelle is found in only those cells, that are capable of performing photosynthesis. Leaves are the site of photosynthesis, such that it directly absorbs sunlight and perform photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process of synthesizing sugar in the presence of sunlight. The process takes place in the cells of the leaves.

The majority of the chloroplasts are present in the leaves because it has a greater surface area for light absorption. The leaves will yield more sugar via photosynthesis.

Therefore, the leaves of the corn plant have more chloroplasts than the stem.
