Which of the following is the best explanation for the presence of both chloroplasts and mitochondria in plant cells? In the light, plants make their own glucose, but in the dark, photosynthesis stops and mitochondria make glucose. If plants cannot produce enough ATP in the process of photosynthesis to meet their energy needs, they can produce it in aerobic respiration. The leaves and sometimes the stems of plants contain chloroplasts, which produce ATP to meet the energy needs of these plant parts. The roots of plants contain mitochondria, which produce ATP to meet the energy needs of these plant parts. Sugars are produced in chloroplasts. These sugars can be stored and used by the mitochondria to produce ATP.

Use the information to answer the following question. The cycads, a mostly tropical phylum of gymnosperms, evolved about 300 million years ago and were dominant forms during the age of the dinosaurs. Though their sperm are flagellated, their ovules are pollinated by beetles. These beetles get nutrition from the pollen and shelter from the microsporophylls. Upon visiting megasporophylls, the beetles transfer pollen to the exposed ovules. In cycads, pollen cones and seed cones are borne on different plants. Cycads synthesize neurotoxins, especially in the seeds, that are effective against most animals, including humans. Which feature of cycads distinguishes them from most other gymnosperms? A) They are pollinated by animals. B) They have flagellated sperm and they are pollinated by animals. C) They have flagellated sperm. D) They have exposed ovules.

Which of the following statements suggests why a tropical rainforest is more likely to survive a change in the environment better than a banana plantation? one: The rain forest is located in an area of the world where heat and temperature prevent the loss of species. The banana plantation crops are prone to mutations that cause the plants to die with increased temperatures. The banana plantation plants tend to lose their beneficial genes as the crops grow in size and width. The rain forest has much greater genetic diversity due to all of the different species found there.
