Figure 37.2
-Suppose you laid a seedling on its side so that the root was parallel to the ground. Immediately after the change in position, where in the root cells position A, B, or C in the figure above) would you find the amyloplasts? The answer should be one of the positions show in Figure 37.2.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amyloplasts are organelles that contain starch and are involved in gravity sensing in plants. Position B in the figure above is the gravity-sensing cell in the root, so it is most likely to contain the amyloplasts. When the seedling is laid on its side, the amyloplasts will settle to the bottom of the cell, which is now facing sideways, in position B.
