Explanation / Answer

12 OPTION A PROTISTS are ancestor of Plants, Fngai and Animals

13. OPTION D

mitochondria must have developed early in the history of eukaryotes, because all eukaryotes have them. Then, a similar event brought chloroplasts into some eukaryotic cells thus creating the lineage that led to plants

14 option C

ALL CELLS HAVE PLASMA MEMBRANE (BOTH EUKARYOTIC and PROKARYOTIC)

15 option E

4 BILLION YEARS AGO

16. OPTION B

17 OPTION D

flexible cell membrane facilitates movement of molecules from one side to another side, both endocytosis and endoccymbiosis of mitochondria can be related to this

18 OPTION E all the above are requirments

19 OPTION D

SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME RATIO

20. OPTION C

21 OPTION E all are true,

22 OPTION D all are true,

2 3 OPTION C

A unique feature of diatom cells is that they are enclosed within a cell wall made of silica HICH IS KNOWN AS FRUSTULE.
