Question

select the correct answer.
assume that a student is given two different models of bacteria, with one model consisting of big bacteria and the other consisting of small bacteria.
how can the student demonstrate the theory of endosymbiosis using the models?
a. show the big bacteria ingesting the small one
b. fuse the two bacterial cells to form a larger cell
c. split both bacterial cells in half
d. draw circles showing the cells making endospores

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory describes how a larger host cell ingests a smaller prokaryotic cell, which then lives inside the host as an organelle rather than being digested. To model this, the action must represent the larger cell taking in the smaller one.

Answer:

A. show the big bacteria ingesting the small one
