Chapter 28, Problem 2TYU

Biologists think that endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria before plastids partly because

(A) the products of photosynthesis could not be metabolized without mitochondrial enzymes.

(B) all eukaryotes have mitochondria (or their remnants), whereas many eukaryotes do not have plastids.

(C) mitochondrial DNA is less similar to prokaryotic DNA than is plastid DNA.

(D) without mitochondrial CO2 production, photosynthesis could not occur.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
1. Why was the great oxygenation event important for mitochondrial development? a) In your own words, define symbiotic. 2. Chloroplasts and mitochondria both contain a circular DNA chromosome, and ribosomes.  Why does this evidence support the theory of endosymbiosis as the mechanism for the origin of eukaryotic cells? a) Today, could mitochondria live independently of their eukaryotic cell host?  Give two pieces of evidence to support your answer.
According to the endosymbiont theory:   a)  modern plant cells are able to carry out photosynthesis because their ancestors engulfed cyanobacteria.   b)  chloroplasts and mitochondria evolved from prokaryotic cells.   c)  ancestral eukaryotic cells acquired the ability to carry out aerobic respiration as a result of engulfing aerobic bacteria.   d)  a and c   e)  a, b and c
1) A group of unspecialized embryonic cells is transplanted from a leg bud to a wing bud in a chick embryos and develops into toes. Which term best describes this phenomenon? A) Differentiation B) Determination C) Induction D) Pattern formation   2) All of the following occur in the light reactions of photosynthesis except the   A) Utilization of photons   B) Formation of ADP molecules   C) Formation of O2 molecules   D) Oxidation of water molecules
