In prokaryotes that carry out aerobic respiration, the ________ serves the same purpose as the inner mitochondrial membrane and the ________ serves the same purpose as the mitochondrial matrix.
A) ribosomes; plasma membrane
B) cytoplasm; plasma membrane
C) cytoplasm; cell wall
D) cytoplasm; nucleoid
E) plasma membrane; cytoplasm
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).
Bacteriorhodopsin, and retinal, are part of a transmembrane complex that uses of sunlight to create a proton gradient, for synthesis of ATP from ADP, in which of the following organisms?
one of the members of the Archaeobacterial kingdom
one of the members of the Eubacterial kingdom (ancestral to the mitochondria)
one of the members of the Animal kingdom
one of the members of the Eubacterial kingdom (ancestral to the chloroplasts)
one of the members of the Plant kingdom

They have no nucleus and hence no DNA They have no Golgi apparatus They include bacteria, yeast, and protozoans They are all able to live on inorganic energy sources Both (b) and (c) are correctarrow_forward
- True or False Cell walls are present in the cells of archaea, bacteria, algae, fungi, and plants only. Photosynthetic unicellular prokaryotes such as Oscillatoria exhibit a green color when viewed under a microscope because of the presence of numerous chloroplasts. The nuclear membrane is a double-membrane structure that constitutes the outermost portion of the nucleus and is continuous with the Endoplasmic Reticulum.arrow_forwardIf mitochondria originated as proteobacteria and chloroplasts are descended from cyanobacteria, where does the rest of the eukaryotic cell come from?arrow_forwardThe non-protein component of the transmembrane complex used by the salt-loving archaeobacterium Halobacterium halobium, which uses sunlight to create a proton gradient for ATP synthesis, is called: bacteriochlorophyll chlorophyll bacteriorhodopsin retinal cytochrome carrow_forward

- Below are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a. Although both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a plasma membrane that protects them from their surrounding, many of the extremophiles are prokaryotic and only a few are eukaryotic. b. Despite different in appearance, nerve and muscles cell have the same genetic material and the same ability to produce electrochemical impulses. c. Although very few in numbers, there are special prokaryotes that have a membrane-bound nucleus.arrow_forwardParamecia live mostly in freshwater and move with the use of structures called cilia. They utilize contractile vacuoles to expel water that enters the cell by osmosis. Euglena are unicellular organisms that use flagella for movement and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. They are found in freshwater and saltwater. Scientists have determined that Paramecia and Euglena are eukaryotes and not prokaryotes because they havearrow_forwardIn the domain system of classification, prokaryotes are divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. The two domains differ in all BUT one feature. Which feature do they have in common? Question options: They both have identical cell walls. They both have prokaryotic cells. They both thrive in extreme environments. They both are able to live only under anaerobic conditions.arrow_forward
