Question

A P. bursaria cell that has lost its zoochlorellae is said to be aposymbiotic. It might be able to replenish its contingent of zoochlorellae by ingesting them without subsequently digesting them. Which of the following situations would be most favorable to the reestablishment of resident zoochlorellae, assuming compatible Chlorella are present in P. bursaria's habitat?

a) abundant light, no bacterial prey
b) abundant light, abundant bacterial prey
c) no light, no bacterial prey
d) no light, abundant bacterial prey

Answer 1

Answer:Abundant light, abundant bacterial prey

Step-by-step explanation:

A zoochlorella is a small green alga sometimes flagellated protozoa that lives within the bodies of various freshwater protozoans or marine invertebrates.

The condition that is favorable for the reestablishment of resident zoochlorellae is abundant light and abundant amount of bacterial prey.

This is because it lives in the body of the freshwater protozoans. Hence, the correct answer is option A
