Question

Write a creative paragraph describing the “thought” process of the first cell that describes how this symbiosis occured. (Of course, there was no real thought involved, but imagine that you are a cell that encounters an interesting prokaryotic cell and tries to convince it to be ingested and help you out in some way.

Answer 1

Answer:

just learned about this in ap bio haha

Explanation:

Wow, that's such a cool prokaryotic cell. It looks so delicious, I wonder if I can eat it.

"Hey, cell, can I eat you?"

"No, you cannot."

"Please? I would love to have your energy-making properties!"

"How would I benefit from this? It seems like you're being parasitic."

"I would help you, by giving you protection and a safe home. You would give me energy. It seems more like an endosymbiotic relationship to me!"

"Fine, you can ingest me."

I'm so glad they let me eat them, they were so yummy. I can even create energy now, and I have a powerhouse inside me! This is so cool, maybe I should eat that other cell with photosynthetic properties.

SORRY IF THIS IS TERRIBLE I REALLY TRIED  

Answer 2

Answer:

Once upon a time, there was a cell. It was moving around the primordial soup trying to make it in that harsh world. All of a sudden, it encountered a small prokaryotic cell. To be honest, the cell was feeling a little lonely and it was happy to come across somebody to share the habitat with. The two cells started spending a lot of time together, just quietly coexisting. The first cell started thinking how it would be so much easier to survive if the other, small cell were to live with me. I could provide safety and shelter, and the small cell can pay me back by providing me with the energy I need for my daily metabolic processes. The cell was hesitant for a second, but then bravely said ''Hey, what do you think about symbiosis?''. And the rest is (endosymbiotic)  history.
