polet [3.4K]

The following options are attached to the question given above:

A) A eukaryotic cell that can make its own food

B) A prokaryotic cell that can make its own food

C) An aerobic bacterium

D) An anaerobic bacterium


ANSWER

The correct option is A.

Endosymbiotic theory is a theory that talks about the evolution of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. The theory proposes that mitochondria and plastids {chloroplast}, which are found in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic cells. Based on this theory, an endosymbiosis of a cell with a cynaobacterium would result in a eukaryotic cell that can manufacture its own food because it contains plastids.

What technology is allowing astronomers to study these phenomena such as star explosions, neutron stars, and black holes
Vanyuwa [196]

Phenomena such as star explosions, neutron stars, black holes etc. are studied with the help of extremely powerful and sensitive telescopes.

These sophisticated instruments are able to see more than our own eyes can. Thus, they detect wavelengths outside of those found in our visible spectrum, such as X-rays etc.

The most sophisticated telescopes are those that are placed in space such as the Hubble or Spitzer Space Telescope. In this way, these instruments are able to circumvent the Earth's atmosphere that may block the view of the sky. Thus, in space, they have the optimal conditions to observe and study in detail such phenomena.
