In which plant cells are chloroplasts primarily found?A. vascular cellsB. cuticle cellsC. mesophyll cellsD. xylem cellsE. root cells

Answer

Chloroplasts are primarily found in C. mesophyll cells.

Explanation

Mesophyll cells are located in the leaves of plants and are responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. These cells contain a high number of chloroplasts, which are the organelles that facilitate this process by capturing light energy.

In contrast, vascular cells (A) are involved in the transport of water and nutrients, cuticle cells (B) help prevent water loss, xylem cells (D) are involved in the transport of water, and root cells (E) primarily absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Therefore, among the given options, mesophyll cells are the correct choice for the presence of chloroplasts.
