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. Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that stick together and adhere to surfaces. Within these communities, there is a high degree of interaction and metabolic cooperation among the different species of bacteria. They exchange nutrients, communicate through signaling molecules, and even transfer genes horizontally.
