Answer: The endosymbiotic theory suggests that eukaryotic organisms evolve from primitive prokaryotic organisms.

Explanation:

According to the endosymbiotic theory the organelles like mitochondria and chloroplast in the eukaryotic cells have arisen from aerobic bacteria. The aerobic bacteria being prokaryotic cell was consumed by the anaerobic bacteria or prokaryotic cell.

The following are the evidences of the origin of eukaryotic organisms from prokaryotic organisms:

1. The chloroplast and mitochondria have circular DNA like bacteria.

2. The mitochondria and chloroplast reproduce through binary fission which also occurs in bacteria.

Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, melosis, or both mitosis and melosis.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks statements, the statements and the answers are as follows:

occurs in organisms that sexually reproduce - MEIOSIS

occurs during growth and development - MITOSIS

the DNA is replicated - MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

occurs in all organisms - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes remains the same - MITOSIS

the number of chromosomes reduces by half - MEIOSIS

Explanation:

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cellular divisions that occur in living cells. Mitosis involves the formation of two (2) daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while meiosis involves the formation of four (4) daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell.

The following are characteristics of the two division processes based on this question:

MITOSIS:

- It occurs during growth and development of an organism.

- it involves DNA replication

- it occurs in all organisms since every living organism undergoes growth and development.

- the number of chromosomes after mitosis remains the same in the daughter cell i.e. 2n remains 2n

MEIOSIS:

- It occurs only in organisms that sexually reproduce.

- it also involves the replication of DNA

- The number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half i.e. 2n to n.

What chemical involved in the processes of photosynthesis has the greatest number of atoms per molecule? F carbon dioxide G gluc

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: The correct answer is Glucose.

The chemical formula of the given molecules are-

Carbon dioxide is CO₂, which means that it contains 2 oxygen and 1 carbon atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Glucose- C₆H₁₂O₆, which means that it contains 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms. Thus, total atoms are 24 per molecule.

Oxygen- O₂, which means that it contains 2 atoms of oxygen.

Water- H₂O, which means that it contains 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Thus, glucose has greatest number of atoms per molecule.
