Answer: B.CFC

Explanation:

The chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are the hydrochlorofluorocarbons that are fully or partially halogenated with the chlorine and fluorine as halogen. It is a volatile derivative of methane, propane and ethane.

The fluorides and chlorides reacts with the oxygen present in the ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. This may lead to the disintegration of the ozone layer and results in the formation of a hole. The ozone layer basically function in prevention of incident radiations like UV and infrared coming from the sun. Due to such damage the rays will enter the earth atmosphere and likely to affect the organisms in the biosphere. These radiations are capable of causing instead mutations which may lead to skin cancer.

Which is part of the endosymbiont theory? Autotrophic prokaryotes evolved into mitochondria. Eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizi

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory or symbiogenesis is an evolutionary theory that traces the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. It explains that some of the organelles (Mitochondria and Chloroplasts) in eukaryotic cells evolved from free-living prokaryotic microbes which were ingested or engulfed. The ingested prokaryotic cells survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.

According to the theory, chloroplasts was formed when eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes and mitochondria was formed when bacteria capable of aerobic respiration were engulfed.
