Glyphosate is a chemical used in herbicides to kill plants. glyphosate works by stopping
the production of amino acids. which of the following statements provides the best
explanation for how glyphosate most likely kills plants?
glyphosate stops the
production of amino
acids which prevents
the ribosomes from
making proteins.
without amino acids the
cell lacks its main source
of quick energy and the
mitochondria may no
longer make energy for
cellular processes.
amino acids are the main
component of the cell wall
of a plant and without
amino acids the plant no
longer has support and
structure
lysosomes are
responsible for cellular
digestion and without
amino acids there is
not food for the
lysosome to digest.
