Answer:

The correct answer is 3. Endosymbiotes

Explanation:

According to the endosymbiotic theory, mitochondria was a prokaryotic organelle which was engulfed by ancestral cell. Then this bacteria remain in a symbiotic relationship with ancestral cell and evolved in mitochondria which can synthesize ATP and replicated its own genome, able to duplicate and divide.

So mitochondria are considered as endosymbiotes which means they are organism which lives inside others body and cannot live or function on their own. This theory is supported by genetic evidence that shows similarities between mitochondria and bacteria. So the correct answer is 3.

How might the study of meteorites help astronomers determine the origin of meteoroids?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Through the study of meteorites, their chemical composition of silicates—material made of silicon and oxygen. Others contain metal—nickel and iron. Knowing what the meteorite was composed of lets you know where it came from. Chondrites are composed of hardened lava - this is occurred at the beginning of the solar system (4.5 mya). Carbonaceous chondrites contain carbon and water which formed away from the sun.

Katie has a rare neurological disease in which her neurons can receive new information and process it, but some of them just can
Wittaler [7]

Katie has a rare neurological disease in which her neurons can receive new information and process it, but some of them just cannot pass the information along. This disease most likely affects the axon of the neurons. Since axon is the signal transmitting end of the neuron, if the fusion of the vesicles containing the neurotransmitters with the cell membrane around the synaptic cleft is hampered, then the signal transmission gets disrupted.
