There are 56 neutrons. To find them, you just have to subtract the atomic number with the atomic mass. If you dont know, the atomic number is the number of protons (and electrons) in an atom. The atomic mass is the number of both the protons and neutrons. Of you subtract the atomic number, you get protons.

Evidence suggests that first, ____________ were acquired when an aerobic bacterium was engulfed by larger cells and became mutua
leonid [27]

Answer:

1. Mitochondria

2. Chloroplast

3. the formation of eukaryotic cells

4. DNA

Explanation:

The theory of endosymbiosis was proposed by the Lynn Margulis in 1967 which suggested that the eukaryotic organelles like the mitochondria and chloroplast evolved when another prokaryotic cell engulfed the prokaryotic bacteria.

The mitochondria were formed when the chemosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by the bacteria and the engulfed bacteria formed a symbiotic relationship. Similarly, the chloroplast was originated in the same way when the photosynthetic bacteria were engulfed by another prokaryote.

The evidence which supports their ar:

1. The same size of the organelles to the bacteria

2. The presence of the circular DNA of the organelles like bacteria  

3. The similarity in the 30s and 70s ribosomal subunits.
