Question

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

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory suggests that chloroplasts in plant cells originated from endosymbiotic relationships with cyanobacteria. A eukaryotic cell that can make its own food (a plant - like cell) would result from the endosymbiosis of a cell with a cyanobacterium as cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes and can perform photosynthesis to make their own food. When a eukaryotic cell engulfed a cyanobacterium and established a symbiotic relationship, it led to the development of photosynthetic eukaryotes.

Answer:

a eukaryotic cell that can make its own food
