Explanation

This question is asking which of the following is not likely to be found in the cell of a ripe tomato fruit. The options are plastids, chlorophyll, cellulose cell wall, mitochondrion, and mineral salts. Plastids are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for the synthesis and storage of important chemical compounds. Chloroplasts are a type of plastid that contain chlorophyll, which is a pigment responsible for photosynthesis. Cellulose cell walls are found in plant cells and provide structural support. Mitochondria are organelles responsible for producing energy in the cell through cellular respiration. Mineral salts are inorganic compounds that are important for the growth and development of plants. The correct answer to this question is option B: chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is not likely to be found in the cell of a ripe tomato fruit because chlorophyll is responsible for photosynthesis, which occurs in the leaves of the plant. As the tomato fruit ripens, the chlorophyll in the fruit breaks down, resulting in the loss of the green color associated with chlorophyll. In summary, all the options listed are likely to be found in the cell of a ripe tomato fruit except chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is not likely to be found in the cell of a ripe tomato fruit because it breaks down during the ripening process.
