Answer:

Option b oxaloacetate is the right one.

Explanation:

There are major eight steps in TCA cycle. Oxaloacetate plays a pivotal role in <u>first and eight step</u>s of cycle.

Step 1. In the first step of the citric acid cycle, acetyl CoA joins with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, releasing the CoA group and forming a six-carbon molecule called citrate.

Step 8. In the last step of the citric acid cycle, oxaloacetate—the starting four-carbon compound-is regenerated by oxidation of malate. Another molecule of NAD+ is reduced to NADH in the process.

What must be true if prokaryotes evolved into eukaryotes by absorbing other cells
erastova [34]

Answer:

The correct option is 'the ability to absorb other cells gave some prokaryotes a survival advantage.'

Explanation:

The scientists have brought forward the theory of endosymbiosis which explains how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells. According to this theory, the scientists claim that the organelles found today in the cells, once existed as individual prokaryotic cells. These organelles were engulfed by larger prokaryotic cells with time and hence, the eukaryotic cells evolved from these prokaryotic cells. The larger prokaryotes might have engulfed the smaller cells for survival.
