Question 1 Report

Which of the following is not likely to be found in the cell of a ripe tomato fruit?
Answer Details
Chlorophyll is not likely to be found in the cell of a ripe tomato fruit. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplasts that is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their own food. However, ripe tomato fruits do not photosynthesize, as they are no longer attached to the plant and cannot produce their own energy. Therefore, chlorophyll is not needed in the cells of a ripe tomato fruit. The other options, such as plastids, cellulose cell wall, mitochondrion, and mineral salts, are all commonly found in plant cells, including those of ripe tomato fruits.
