- Why do eukaryotic cells require a nucleus as a separate compartment when prokaryotic cells can manage perfectly well without?arrow_forwardAccording to the endosymbiotic theory, why did the primitive eukaryotic cell fail to digest the non-photosynthetic prokaryote that later became an energy-producing organelle? Because the engulfed cell provided the host cell with carbon dioxide. Because the host cell was able to survive anaerobic conditions with the engulfed cell alive. Because the engulfed cell allowed the host cell to metabolize glucose.
