Acquisition of cyanobacterium-like cells by an early heterotrophic anaerobe changed the cell's ability to _______________. (Select all correct choices)
A)acquire its organic building blocks
B)live in an oxygen containing environment
C)create ATP in mitochondria
D)synthesize DNA in a nucleus
E)traffic molecules through membranous organelles like the Golgi apparatus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acquisition of cyanobacterium-like cells likely provided the early anaerobe with the ability to perform photosynthesis, leading to the production of organic molecules that could be used as building blocks. This also allowed the cell to survive in an oxygen-containing environment. The other choices (C, D, E) are not directly related to the acquisition of cyanobacterium-like cells.
