- how are mitochondria and chloraplasts similar to prokaryotes?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. Because the engulfed cell provided the host cell with adenosine triphosphate (ATP).arrow_forwardSurvival of a eukaryotic cell without mitochondria is feasible, why?arrow_forward
- Within the eukaryotic cell, the source of most of the energy stored in ATP is produced through the: a) breakdown of chlorophyll in the mitochondrion b) mitochondrion completing the oxidation of pyruvate (3 carbon chains) c) oxidation of glucose in the cytoplasm d) hydrolysis within the lysosome e) storage of glucose as glycogen by a storage vesiclearrow_forwardwhich of the following macromolecules enter the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell through pores in the nuclear membrane?arrow_forwardWhy do scientist believe that mitochondria originated from ancient prokaryotes?arrow_forward
