- Suppose we find an organism living on a dead log in the mangrove forest of Everglades National Park. This organism is prokaryotic and does not eat. It is made up of only one cell. What domain/kingdom is it probably in? Group of answer choices Animalia Plantae Protista Fungi Eubacteriaarrow_forwardDomain Eukarya ___________________means their cells have nuclei and other compartments (____________________). Organisms in domain Eukarya have larger, more complex cells with nuclei. 4 Kingdoms: ________________, Animalia, Fungi, and ________________ Kingdom Protists: Unicellular or multicellular and Autotrophs or heterotrophs Kingdom Animalia: Multicellular,___________________ (by ingestion) Kingdom Fungi: Most are multicellular and are heterotrophs (by ___________digestion) Kingdom Plantae: Multicellular, _______________arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about eukaryotes is correct? - Eukaryotes are life forms that possess a nucleus in the cells. - Some cellular features, such as endoplasmic reticulum, is uniquely eukaryotic and is not shared with either bacteria or archaea. - It has been hypothesized that the first eukaryotic cell is a chimera between a bacterium and an archaeon. - During phylogenetic reconstruction, it is often found that eukaryotic genes that are responsible for information processing are more closely related to corresponding archaeal genes than to bacterial genes. - All of the abovearrow_forward
- Does the following phylogenetic tree provide evidence to support or refute the endosymbiosis hypothesis? Briefly explain your choice (1-2 sentences) Bacteria a-Proteobacteria Mitochondria Archaea Eukarya Excavata Discicristata Alveolata Stramenopila Rhizaria Plantae Opisthokonta Amoebozoaarrow_forwardWhich of the following pieces of evidence could support the endosymbiotic theory if found to be true? Traces of peptidoglycan in the cytoplasm in eukaryotes Presence of rRNA in eukaryotes Presence of 80S ribosomes in eukaryotes The discovery of a unicellular eukaryotearrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly describes the theory of endosymbiosis. Question 9 options: Mitochondria evolved from a genetic mutation within an ancestral prokaryote. An ancestral prokaryote engulfed another prokaryote that eventually evolved into the organelles we recognize as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Some species of prokaryotes can pick up plasmids left behind by other prokaryotes.arrow_forward
- According to the endosymbiotic theory, which of the following is NOT true about the evolution of life on earth? Eukaryotes and prokaryotes appeared at about the same time and evolved independently from each other. O None of the other four answers (all are true statements) Eukaryotes evolved from symbiotic prokaryotes living inside other prokaryotes Mitochondria and chloroplasts are in some ways similar to prokaryotes The first life on earth was simple organisms, similar to today's prokaryotesarrow_forwardAn endosymbiont is any organism that lives within the body or cells of another organism. Each would have performed mutually benefiting functions from their symbirie relationship. Why are the mitochondria considered an endosybiont in an eukaryotic cell ? They have two membranes have DNA sequences that indicate origin from the alpha- prroteobacteria has a means for using oxygen and create ATP can break down glucose for energy O They contain hydrolytic enzymesarrow_forwardBased on the accompanying evolutionary tree, which prokaryotic domain gave rise to the domain Eukarya? Which kingdom in domain Eukarya gave rise to plants, animals, and fungi?arrow_forward
- Archaea are so named because option1-their cell structure is thought to be more primitive than the cell structure of bacteria option2-they arose from the joining of members from the Archaea and Bacteria Domains. option3-many survive in extreme conditions thought to be similar to ancient earth option4-they are thought to be the first group of prokaryotes to evolve on eartharrow_forwardWhich of the following statement is not a line of evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory for the evolution of eukaryotes? Question 8 options: Mitochondria and plastids have their own circular DNA which is similar to bacterial DNA. Mitochondria and plastids can both live and reproduce outside of a cell. Mitochondria and plastids are separated from the rest of the cell by a membrane. Mitochondria and plastids reproduce independently of the rest of the cell.arrow_forwardArchaea are different from Eubacteria are different types of prokaryotes because... Archaea lack a nucleus Archaea are unicellular Archaea lack peptidoglycan in their cell wall Archaea do not have ribosomesarrow_forward
