AI Thread Summary
Eukaryote evolution from prokaryotes is primarily associated with the symbiotic theory, but there are alternative perspectives suggesting that eukaryotes may have developed independently before forming symbiotic relationships. The discussion highlights the need for more theories beyond symbiosis to understand this evolutionary process. Several articles are recommended for further reading on the topic. These resources could provide valuable insights into the complexities of eukaryotic evolution. Exploring these theories can enhance understanding of biological evolution.

hello
i'm new here and looking for some help with my assignment.
i am currently working on an assignment about how the eukaryote evolved from the prokaryote, currently i have come across only one theory which is symbiosis, i need to find several theories and was wondering if anyone here had heard of any others.
help would be greatly appreciated as biology is not my strong point!
thanks to anyone who can help

One of the newer theory is that eukaryotes did not evolve from prokaryotes and started to develop on their and eventually formed symbiosis.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
