Answer:
The correct answer is option D which is release of water from the vacuoles.
Explanation:
The difference in second plant from the first one is rigidity. Second one is wilted and not rigid. This is due to the release of water from the vacuoles in the cell of plants.
Vacuoles are present in the center of plant cell. They are usually filled with water and provide structural support to the cell.
In the absence of water filled vacuoles, plants shoots are wilted as in case of second plant.
They work together to give the cells the ingredients they need to produce energy.
Answer:
C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.
Explanation:
Plant withering refers to the virtual death of plant cells due to lack of food. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP needed for the synthesis of sugar (food) is created in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST of plant cells.
In the light-dependent reaction, hydrogen ions (H+) builds up/accumulate in the thylakoid lumen to create an electrochemical or proton gradient i.e. a difference in the concentration of H+ ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions passes through a protein complex called ATP synthase, which forms ATP from ADP (by adding phosphate group), from the energy generated by the electrochemical gradient formed as a result of hydrogen in (H+) build up.
Hence, a plant that possess leaky membrane due to the cold temperature will likely wither because H+ ions are not able to accumulate inside the thylakoid causing a proton gradient, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.
