When an organic compost pile is built correctly (sufficiently large, slightly moist, and containing a variety of organic materia

l), it tends to get hot. Which of the following best explains why a compost pile gets hot?
A. Solar energy hitting the pile causes photosynthetic microorganisms in the pile to begin working and releasing the stored energy as heat.

B. Water molecules within the compost pile spontaneously break down and release their energy as heat.

C. The decomposers are breaking down energy-containing organic molecules for their own use and some of the energy escapes as heat.

D. The decomposers are constantly moving around within the compost pile and the friction of their motion heats up the pile.

Evidence that supports the prokaryotic origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts are all of the following except __________.
hodyreva [135]

Your question was incomplete (please check below the full content). The evidence that supports the prokaryotic origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts do not include multiple DNA copies associated with inner membranes.

<h3>What is organellar DNA?</h3>

The organellar DNA is the genome contained within mitochondria and chloroplasts, which is independent of nuclear eukaryotic DNA.

The organellar DNA contains multiple DNA molecules, which are found in association with the inner membrane, ant is not found in prokaryotic life forms.

The complete question in this case is: "Evidence that supports the prokaryotic origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts are the presence of mitochondria, a eukaryote engulfing prokaryotic photosynthetic cells, and non-photosynthetic eukaryotes, EXCEPT."

The endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from prokaryotic microorganisms that entered into a primitive eukaryotic cell.

This theory is supported by certain features of mitochondria and chloroplasts such as a similar size to prokaryotes.

In conclusion, evidence do not include the arrangement of the organellar DNA.
