A mutation in the upland cotton plant causes the development of chloroplasts with a single outer membrane and no internal membranes.
Which of the following would most likely be observed in chloroplasts of
cotton plants with this mutation?*

This question is incomplete as it lacks options. The options are:

A) They would be unable to remove waste products because internal transport proteins would not be present

B) They would be unable to generate ATP and NADPH needed to make sugars because these processes occur on membranes within the chloroplast

C) They would be unable to take up carbon dioxide because CO2 is transported into the chloroplast in membrane-bound vesicles.

D) They would be unable to move within the cell because only organelles with double membranes are mobile.

The answer is B

Explanation:

Chloroplast is an organelle within the cells of certain organisms including plants. It is the site of photosynthesis in autotrophic organisms i.e. organisms capable of making their own food. The chloroplast is double-membraned, like most eukaryotic organelle, made up of inner and outer membrane.

The membranes of the chloroplast contains structures such as thylakoid, where the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis that produces ATP and NADPH needed to produce sugars, take place. Hence, a mutation in the upland cotton plant that causes the development of chloroplasts with a single outer membrane and no internal membranes will make the chloroplasts of this cotton plant be unable to generate ATP and NADPH needed to make sugars because these processes occur on membranes within the chloroplast.

the answer is lactic acid from anaerobic respiration. the acid in lactic acid is what creates sore and burning muscles. if you think about how acid burns that will give you a clue for questions like this.
