, (c) Some plants have adaptations that prevent them being eaten by animals.
Sorghum is a plant that stores a substance called dhurrin inside leaf cells in the
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
structures labelled S in the photograph.
Dhurrin is broken down by the enzyme glucosidase to release hydrogen cyanide.
Glucosidase is stored within the chloroplasts of leaf cells.
Hydrogen cyanide inhibits aerobic respiration.
Explain why dhurrin is stored within structure S, and glucosidase is stored
separately in the chloroplasts.
