Which of the following describes how prokaryotic cells acquire food? A) Through phagocytosis B) By absorbing monomers C) Using specialized feeding structures D) By secreting enzymes to break down organic matter
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of the methods used by prokaryotic cells to obtain food, providing multiple-choice options for consideration.
Answer
By absorbing monomers
The final answer is B) By absorbing monomers
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B) By absorbing monomers
More Information
Prokaryotic cells lack complex structures like phagocytosis mechanisms, so they absorb pre-digested monomeric molecules from their environment.
Tips
Students often confuse prokaryotic and eukaryotic feeding mechanisms. Remember that prokaryotes are simpler and lack specialized structures.
