We would expect the emergent leaf cells to contain many ___chloroplasts__________ for photosynthesis. Because the developing stem must support the plant, we would expect those cells to develop __ thickened cell walls . ____________.

Answer 1

After germination, continued plant growth pushes first the shoot and then leaves through the soil. We would expect the emergent leaf cells to contain much light, water, chloroplasts and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Because the developing stem must support the plant, we would expect those cells to develop with thickened cell walls.
