Which of the following would most likely happen if the atp synthesis in the mitochondria of a plant's cells suddenly operated poorly?

the plant cells would use adp for fuel instead of atp since there would be an abundance of adp.

the plant cells would stop photosynthesis so there is no build-up of excess glucose in the cytoplasm.

the plant cells would die because they wouldn't extract enough energy from the glucose produced in photosynthesis.

the plant cells would function normally since they would make all the sugars they need during photosynthesis.

Correct C). The plant cells would die because they wouldn't extract enough energy from the glucose produced in photosynthesis.  

The main function of mitochondria is to convert the carbohydrates formed by the photosynthesis into the carbon dioxide and water. If it does not function properly then plant would not be able to convert glucose into energy. It converts the energy present in the food in the ATP, which can be used as a chemical energy by the cell.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
