What type of plant cells carry out photosynthesis?
Correct answer: C. Chlorenchyma cells
- A. Sclerenchymatous cells
- B. Parenchyma cells
- C. Chlorenchyma cells
- D. Both B and C
Explanation
Chlorenchyma cells are specialized plant cells that contain chloroplasts, making them the primary site for photosynthesis. While parenchyma cells can have various functions, only chlorenchyma cells, a type of parenchyma, are dedicated to photosynthesis due to their chloroplast content. Sclerenchymatous cells are not involved in photosynthesis as they are more focused on providing structural support. The option 'Both B and C' is incorrect because not all parenchyma cells perform photosynthesis, only those that are chlorenchyma do.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
