Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cells shown in the photograph have large, thin cell walls, which are characteristic of parenchyma cells. They also contain chloroplasts, indicating that they are photosynthetic. Therefore, the best choice is E, which states that they are parenchyma cells and photosynthetic. Choices A, C, and D can be eliminated based on the fact that the cells are not specialized for support, not found in roots, and not phloem cells.
