5 Based on their molecular constituents what two major types

5. Based on their molecular constituents, what two major types of macromolecules within plant cells are likely to contain a relatively high ratio of P compared to other elements (Remember that if a molecule or structure has a lot of P it will have a low C:P ratio)? 6. Of the following organelles, which would you expect to have the highest amount of P (highest C:P): vacuole, chloroplast, mitochondrion, or ribosomes?

Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid are the macromolecules with relatively high ratio of P compared to other elements.

Mitochondrion has the highest C:P ratio.
