Hypothesize whether prokaryotic cells might have been symbiotic before the evolution of eukaryotic
elena55 [62]
 <span>Two prokaryotes turning into a eukaryotic cell began with a process called

endosymbiosis. One large prokaryote engulfs (a process called

endocytosis) one small, aerobically respiring prokaryote. The small

prokaryote turned into a membrane-bound organelle, which prokaryotes do

not have, and like we know, only eukaryotes have membrane-bound

organelles. So that is how the eukaryotic cell structure evolved from

prokaryotic cells, meaning that before this evolution, they were most likely symbiotic.</span>

The ___ biome is characterized by moderate temperatures and high quantities of precipitation.
diamong [38]

Answer:

The temperate rain forest.

Explanation:

Temperate rain forests are similar in structure and precipitation amounts to a tropical rain forest. The difference is in the location and temperature of each. Tropical rain forests are located on and near the equator, and are incredibly warm and humid, with large amounts of precipitation. Temperate rain forests are found north of the Tropic of Cancer and have moderate temperature and humidity levels. The way to remember the difference is to notice that Temperate is a combination of 'moderate' and 'temperature' and can be said to mean "moderate temperature". I hope this is the answer you were looking for!
