2. A student is developing a model on photosynthesis. In order complete the model, she needs to investigate how the different parts of the plant react during photosynthesis. She compared the cells in the leaf of a corn plant and the cells in the stern of a corn plant. She discovered that the leaf cells contain more chloroplasts than the cells in the stem of a com plant.
Based on this observation, what is the best comparison of the cells in the stem, to the cells in the leaf?
The cells in the stem will synthesize fewer proteins than the cells in the leaf.
The cells in the stem will synthesize more carbohydrates than the cells in the leaf.
The cells in the stem will use less carbon dioxide than the cells in the leaf.
The cells in the stem will have a higher chromosome count than the cells in the leaf.
