Ome species of present day protists contain living organisms within their cytoplasm. Paramecium bursaria are hosts for zoochlore

llae, photosynthetic protists, that live within the cytoplasm of the paramecium. The relationship appears to be symbiotic; the zoochlorellae gain protection and possibly some essential nutrients from the host cytoplasm and the paramecium host has an available food source when its usual food source is depleted. This symbiotic relationship provides support for the theory of endosymbiosis, which states that A) animal-like cells evolved from ancestors that were photosynthetic. B) mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from small prokaryotes living within larger cells. C) photosynthetic organisms, like today's land plants, evolved from photosynthetic bacteria. D) heterotrophic organisms could not have evolved before the evolution of photosynthetic organisms.

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

The theory of endosymbiosis provided the evidence which suggested that the eukaryotic organelles like mitochondria and chloroplast evolved from the smaller prokaryotes which were once independent organisms.

These prokaryotes, when engulfed by larger cells, formed symbiotic relationship among themselves and later evolved into the organelle.

In the given question, since the zoochlorellae contains paramecium bursaria within its cytoplasm which could form the symbiotic relationship. This could act as an evidence of the endosymbiotic theory.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Why might parasitic roots have developed in plants like the mistletoe?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Mistletoe is a parasite – it steals water and nutrients from trees. Technically, it is a “hemiparasite”, which means that it can generate some of its own resources through photosynthesis – it just needs that energetic kick from the sun to fuel the biological siege and subsequent invasion of the tree
