Bacteria are an example of a ____ cell.
prokaryotic
eukaryotic
plant
animal
The Endosymbiotic Theory explains
the origin of prokaryotes
how bacteria lives
the origin of eukaryotes
how species develop
Which organelles definitely arose from endosymbiosis?
Nucleus and cell membrane
Chloroplast and mitochondria
Mitochondria and nucleus
Cell wall and chloroplast
What do all eukaryotic cells have in common?
Nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
Cell wall and cell membrane
No nucleus
No cytoplasm
Which type of cells are more complex?
Prokaryote
Eukaryote
Which of the following is evidence to support the endosymbiotic theory?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, which is similar to prokaryotic DNA.
Fossil evidence shows that the first forms of life were prokaryotic cells.
All eukaryotic cells have a double-layered membrane composed of phosplipids and proteins.
Prokaryotes have the same number and types of enzymes as eukaryotes.
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?
student A has a correct ordering of index cards but incorrect reasoning.
student B has a correct ordering of index cards and correct reasoning.
Student A has a correct ordering of index cards and correct reasoning.
Student B has a correct ordering of index cards but incorrect reasoning.

Survival of the fittest
Heredity
Evolution
The trees these moths used to live on were white, but have been covered in soot from coal factories. Which moth will be more successful in this environment, and what type of natural selection does this represent?
Dark moth; Directional (One extreme phenotype)
Dark Moth; Disruptive (2 extreme phenotypes)
White moth; Disruptive (2 extreme phenotypes)
Neither will be successful and stabilizing selection would take place
