Plants couldn't make ammonia, so they would lack nitrogen, which is a component of proteins and nucleic acid. Since every species in the food chain ultimately gets their nitrogen from nitrogen fixation, they'd either have to find a new way of getting nitrogen or find a way of making nucleic acids and protein without it. The only alternative is extinction.

What structural feature of prokaryotic cells might you expect to have changed before endosymbionts could be acquired by eurkaryotic cells?

The absence of a nuclear membrane in prokaryotic cells would have needed to change in order for endosymbionts to be acquired by eukaryotic cells. This structural feature prevents direct incorporation of free-living prokaryotes into the cell.


What process do prokaryotes exchange genetic information?

Prokaryotes have additional ways to evolve their genomes besides relying on relatively infrequent mutations. Through genetic recombination, individual prokaryotic cells can share DNA with other individual cells, not necessarily belonging to the same species.They can also exchange genetic material by transformation, transduction, and conjugation.In conjugation, plasmid DNA is transferred from cell to cell using something called a sex pilus. In transformation cells pick up DNA from their environment. Lastly, transduction is the transfer of genetic material from one cell to another using a virus.


Why do prokaryotic cells produce more ATP per mocule than eukaryotic cells?

Because Eukaryotic cells need to transfer the NADH produced from glycolysis to the mitochondria and in order to do so, 2 ATP must be used to transfer the electron carriers to the mitochondrial matrix. hope that helps.

Is mRNA a direct copy of DNA?

mRNA is not a direct copy of DNA, but it is a molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes in the cell where proteins are made.
