Question:
An abundance of oxygen led to the evolution of
A. photosynthetic eukaryotes.
B. aerobic eukaryotes.
C. anaerobic eukaryotes.
D. photosynthetic prokaryotes.
E. anaerobic prokaryotes.
Aerobic Eukaryotes.:
Eukaryotes are one of the most complex organisms on the planet. They have a huge diversity of life forms and they are very diverse in terms of appearance and behavior. They are also very diverse in their functional roles. Endosymbiosis, that is the incorporation of one organism into the other, is an especially striking example of this diversity. Eukaryotes include all animals and plants, as well as microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea; several categories are still being discovered.
