Which of the Following Involves Metabolic Cooperation Among Prokaryotic Cells

Question

Which of the following involves metabolic cooperation among prokaryotic cells?
A) binary fission
B) endospore formation
C) endotoxin release
D) biofilms
E) photoautotrophy

Accepted Answer

Biofilms involve metabolic cooperation among prokaryotic cells, as they form complex structures where different microorganisms can share nutrients and work together to perform various functions such as obtaining energy and protecting the community from external stressors. Binary fission, endospore formation, endotoxin release, and photoautotrophy do not necessarily involve metabolic cooperation among different prokaryotic cells.
