Early anaerobic prokaryotes engulfed aerobic prokaryotes, which evolved into mitochondria.

The endosymbiotic theory is used to explain the evolution of eukarytotic cells. They evolved from a predatory relatioship between anaerobic protists and aerobic prokaryotes that turned symbiotic.

Explanation:

It is believed that the very first cells utilized glycolysis for cellular respiration to provide energy for the cellular activities. Over time some cells evolved mechanisms to harness the energy of the sun. These cells changed the composition of the atmosphere because they took up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and evolved oxygen resulting to what is described as the Great Oxygenation Event. Some cells evolved aerobic respiration with most anaerobes perishing due to the oxidative capacity of oxygen. These aerobic cells (the prokaryotes) were more efficient in producing energy than anaerobes.

During these times before evolution of autotrophs cells, cells were mainly heterotrophs meaning they engulfed other cells for ‘food’. These protists engulfed the prokaryotes that were more efficient in harnessing oxygen to create more energy. The prokaryotes utilized the Citric cycle than is highly effective in generating more energy than glycolysis. Over time this relationship shifted from predation to mutualistic relationship.

This relationship created the eukaryotic cells with the mitochondria being the aerobic prokaryotes that were engulfed by anaerobic protists.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "to regulate cell reactions".

Lactase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolyses of lactose to form glucose and galactose.

It is present in the small intestine of mammals including humans and help in digestion of milk sugar that is, lactose.

The overall reaction can be written as:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (lactose) + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + C₆H₁₂O₆ (galactose)+ heat

What are some ways that living things can be classified? What characteristics should we look at when putting living things into
ANTONII [103]

The classification of living things includes 7 levels: kingdom, phylum, classes, order, families, genus, and species. Characteristics such as appearance, reproduction, mobility, and functionality are just a few ways in which living organisms are grouped together. These specialized groups are collectively called the classification of living things.

Hope this helps :)
