Question

based on the endosymbiotic theory, what cell would result from the endosymbiosis of a cell with a cyanobacterium?
o a eukaryotic cell that can make its own food
o a prokaryotic cell that can make its own food
o an aerobic bacterium
o an anaerobic bacterium

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory states that eukaryotic cells originated from symbiotic relationships between different prokaryotic cells. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes. When a non - photosynthetic eukaryotic cell engulfs a cyanobacterium (endosymbiosis), the cyanobacterium can perform photosynthesis within the eukaryotic cell. Photosynthesis allows the cell to make its own food. Prokaryotic cells do not have the complex internal membrane systems and organelle organization that would result from this endosymbiotic event. Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are prokaryotes and do not represent the result of a eukaryotic cell - cyanobacterium endosymbiosis.

Answer:

a eukaryotic cell that can make its own food
