-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 Figure 39.2)would you find the amyloplasts? The answer should be one of the positions shown in Figure 39.2.

Amyloplasts are specialized organelles found in root cells that help orient the plant in response to gravity. When a seedling is laid on its side, the amyloplasts will shift to the lower side of the root, which in this case is position B in Figure 39.2. Therefore, the best choice is B.
