Question

based on the model of the e chlorotica life cycle, at which stage is the organism most likely capable of carrying out photosynthesis? (1 p
○ throughout its entire life cycle
○ as a larva
○ as a nonpigmented adult
○ as a pigmented adult

Explanation:

E. chlorotica is a sea - slug that acquires chloroplasts from its algal food source. Pigmented adults are most likely to have functional chloroplasts and thus be capable of photosynthesis. Larvae may not have fully - developed or acquired the necessary components for photosynthesis, and non - pigmented adults likely lack the pigments and functional chloroplasts required for the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Answer:

as a pigmented adult
