Answer;

The second cell would not be able to produce as much food because it could not capture sunlight.

Explanation;

The first cell has multiple chloroplasts, and the second cell has very few which means the cell with more chloroplasts would make more food.

Chloroplast is an organelle is the cell where the process of photosynthesis (process in which plants make their own food) takes place.

A cell with multiple chloroplasts would make more food through photosynthesis compared to a cell with few chloroplasts.

Lea Haynes · Answer 2

If there are two cells in the same organism that differ only in the number of chloroplasts they contain, and the second cell is the one with fewer, the second cell would not be able to produce as much food because it couldn't capture sunlight.
