Students have asked these similar questions
Enumerate four ultrastructures common to all cells whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic. What particular significance can you associate with the presence of these common ultrastructures in all cells?
What are the primary differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? List at least three (3) differences.
The endosymbiotic hypothesis for the origin of chloroplasts from gram-negative prokaryotes is supported by all of the following lines of evidence except:
the presence of enzymes for the light-dependent and the dark reactions of photosynthesis
the presence of circular DNA resembling that of photosynthetic eubacteria
the presence of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA similar to that of the cyanobacteria
their use of mitosis rather than binary fission during cell division
the presence of 70s ribosomes, consisting of 30s and 50s ribosomal subunits

- According 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. Because the engulfed cell provided the host cell with adenosine triphosphate (ATP).arrow_forwardEach of the ff. involves a disorder in the function of an organelle or other cell structure. Identify the organelle or structure involved and indicate whether it is likely to be underactive or active. a) A maize plant is unable to survive due to recessive lethal gene which causes albinism. b) A baby is placed on a low phenylalanine diet as his newborn screening results revealed that he inherited phenylketonuria. c) A man develops pleiomorphic liposarcoma (rare cancer).
