All plants contain chloroplasts with both chlorophyll a and b.By comparison,almost all prokaryotic organisms only contain chlorophyll a.One exception is Prochloron,which contains both chlorophyll a and b.According to the endosymbiotic theory,how did photosynthetic plants arise and how did the discovery of Prochloron in the 1970's lend support to this theory?


A) Photosynthetic plants arose from a prokaryote that engulfed another free-living photosynthetic prokaryote that eventually developed into a chloroplast.Given that all plants contain chlorophyll b,it must have been present in the common ancestor of plants.Prior to the discovery of Prochloron,no bacteria were known to contain chlorophyll b.However,the identification of Prochloron,which contains both chlorophyll a and b,suggests that it is the direct descendent of the common ancestor to all plant chloroplasts,and therefore provides conclusive evidence in support of endosymbiosis.

A cytologist is examining a tissue under an electron microscope.He notices in particular that the endoplasmic reticulum of each cell is extremely rough in appearance and of course knows that the rough appearance is because of the ribosomes embedded there.He is curious about why there are so many ribosomes.You can help.Your response would be,


A) "This tissue exports lipids and is very involved with mRNA production,which of course is used in protein synthesis."
B) "This tissue exports proteins to other areas of the body."
C) "This tissue has obviously been exposed to the new protein diet supplements that are so popular these days and has been recruited to make more protein."
D) "This tissue exports various nucleic acids,hence the large number of ribosomes present on the endoplasmic reticulum in each of those cells."
