Concept explainers

Prokaryotic evolution

The term evolution means the gradual change or a transformation from a simple or primitive state to a complex or advanced state. Prokaryotic evolution is a concept that involves the evolution of the form and function of most primitive organisms (prokaryotes) through several stages and changes to form diverse life as a part of organic evolution.

An 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 enzymes
Endosymbiosis greatly altered eukaryotes as they acquired organelles. In the red algae shown below, the mitochondria is on left (solid lines), the chloroplast is in the middle (dotted lines), and the nucleus is on the right (dashed lines).
Which of the following protists photosynthesize? Group of answer choices Autotrophs Heterotrophs Mixotrophs
Which group of organisms do not have microtubules inside their cells? Ciliophora Archaeozoa Apicomoplexa Microsporidia
Why are protists not all grouped together into a single eukaryotic supergroup? Their modes of reproduction are extremely diverse. They do not all possess the same mitochondria structure. They did not all evolve from a shared common ancestor. Their DNA sequence is not identical. They fulfill many different ecological roles. They are found in a variety of habitats.
Which 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 eukaryote
Which of the following statement(s) or feature(s) apply to Amoeba proteus? Sclect 3 comect answaits Eukaryote Possess a nucleus Unicellular organism Can do photosynthesis Multicellular organism Prokaryote Bacteria
19) Which of the following statements about protists is true? Group of answer choices Protists are a monophyletic group of organisms All protists are unicellular All protists are photosynthetic Some protists have prokaryotic cells The protist group known as charophytes gave rise to land plants
An infectious disease research group is studying a microbe that can cause infections and gastrointestinal disease in humans, and which can also survive and reproduce in hamsters. A dormant cyst form of the microbe infects human hosts through fecal-oral transmission if they come in contact with hamster droppings and don’t wash their hands before eating. The organism exhibits active, motile morphological forms at other stages of its life cycle. Sexual reproduction (fusion of haploid gametes) occurs in the hamsters; only asexual reproduction occurs in humans. It has a nucleus, but does NOT have a cell wall. This microbe could be which of the following? Protozoan Fungus Bacterium Virus

Group of answer choices Some protists are mixotrophic Certain protists share a common ancestor with land plants Some protists are photosynthetic prokaryotes which are similar to the ancestral chloroplast Protists are a polyphyletic group of organisms that often bear little resemblance to each other Although most protists are unicellular, some protists are multicellular as well
