15.

Two students are reading an article about the evidence of the endosymbiotic theory. As they are reading, they have drawn images of what they believe to be occurring on index cards. The two students are engaging in a discussion on how the index cards should be ordered to accurately show the evolution of eukaryotic cells.


Student A claims the order should be B, E, D, A, C. Their reasoning is that since the small circles without lines in the index cards represent chloroplasts, photosynthesizing organisms evolved before aerobic organisms.

Student B claims the order should be B, A, C, E, D. Their reasoning is that since the small ovals with lines in the index cards represent mitochondria, respiratory organisms evolved before photosynthesizing organisms


Use the diagram to answer the question. Which statement below is accurate about the discussion above?

a)

student A has a correct ordering of index cards but incorrect reasoning.

b)

student B has a correct ordering of index cards and correct reasoning.

c)

Student A has a correct ordering of index cards and correct reasoning.

d)

Student B has a correct ordering of index cards but incorrect reasoning.

16.

Which statement below correctly explains and gives the importance of the endosymbiotic theory?

a)

The endosymbiotic theory states that the inner and outer membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum indicates these were once free living organisms which were taken into an early cell via endocytosis. The theory was further supported by the presence of prokaryotic ribosomes and replication of the endoplasmic reticulum via binary fission.

b)

The endosymbiotic theory states that the inner and outer membrane of the mitochondria indicates these were once free living organisms which were taken into an early cell via endocytosis. The theory was further supported by the presence of prokaryotic ribosomes and replication of mitochondria via binary fission.

c)

The endosymbiotic theory states that through endocytosis, early prokaryotic cells were able to bring in additional nutrients. These additional nutrients provided important energy that drove evolution of these prokaryotic cells into the eukaryotic cells seen today in more advanced organisms.

d)

The endosymbiotic theory states that through endocytosis, early prokaryotic cells were able to bring in early energy rich eukaryotic cells. The energy provided drove evolution of these prokaryotic cells into the eukaryotic cells seen today in more advanced organisms.

17.

Which explanation best identifies what Cell A and Cell B are?

a)

Cell A must be an aerobic prokaryote. Cell B must be a photosynthesizing prokaryote. This is because early eukaryotic cells engulfed chloroplast-like prokaryotes first and then proceeded to engulf mitochondria-like prokaryotes. All eukaryotic cells contain chloroplasts, but not all eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria.

b)

Cell A must be an aerobic prokaryote. Cell B must be a photosynthesizing prokaryote. This is because early eukaryotic cells engulfed mitochondria like prokaryotes first and then proceeded to engulf chloroplast like prokaryotes. All eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria, but not all eukaryotic cells contain chloroplasts.

c)

Cell A must be a photosynthesizing prokaryote. Cell B must be an aerobic prokaryote. This is because early eukaryotic cells engulfed mitochondria like prokaryotes first and then proceeded to engulf chloroplast like prokaryotes. All eukaryotic cells contain chloroplasts, but not all eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria.

d)

Cell A must be a photosynthesizing prokaryote. Cell B must be an aerobic prokaryote. This is because early eukaryotic cells engulfed chloroplast-like prokaryotes first and then proceeded to engulf mitochondria-like prokaryotes. All eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria, but not all eukaryotic cells contain chloroplasts.

18.

Which type of cell is pictured?

a)
Prokaryote
b)
Eukaryote
