What is the role of balance in ecosystems?

Back

Balance maintains stability and supports energy flow in ecosystems.

Front

What process likely led to the origin of mitochondria?

Back

A prokaryotic cell engulfing another prokaryotic cell.

Front

Which cell type is more likely to survive in extreme environments?

Back

Prokaryotic cells.

Front

What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration considered?

Back

Interdependent processes that cycle energy and matter between organisms to support life.

Front

What is NOT evidence for the endosymbiotic theory?

Back

Presence of ribosomes.

Front

Define prokaryotic cells.

Back

Simple, single-celled organisms without a nucleus, often found in extreme environments.

Front

What is the significance of double membranes in mitochondria and chloroplasts?

Back

They support the endosymbiotic theory by indicating a history of engulfment.

Front

Explain the concept of interdependence in ecosystems.

Back

Organisms rely on each other for energy and nutrients, creating a balanced ecosystem.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

Describe the process of photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.
