Um lol , I dunno , im guessing C or D , something with bacterium .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry .

OpenStudy (somy):

Cyanobacterium a division of microorganisms that are related to the bacteria but are capable of photosynthesis. They are prokaryotic and represent the earliest known form of life on the earth.

OpenStudy (somy):

so it's pretty clear that it's B

OpenStudy (somy):

Bacteria is prokaryote on its own

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is definitely not C or D, but I'm not sure that I agree with Somy. The question is not asking about what cyanobacteria are. It is asking what would result if a cell engulfed cyanobacteria in a form of endosymbiosis. The result would be a eukaryote that would be able to rely on the cyanobacterial endosymbiont to make its own food.
