Why was the transition from “purple bacteria” to “green bacteria” important for the evolution of complex organisms? Use evidence from the video and the chart in your answer.

As the chart shows, prokaryotes, such as bacteria, were the first forms of life on Earth. They eventually led to the evolution of more complex life forms, including plants and animals. Green bacteria were important because they allowed some organisms to make energy from the sun. The green bacteria also released oxygen in the atmosphere, allowing for more diverse forms of life on Earth.

Explanation:

This is for plato users.

cellular respiration oxidizes food into energy in the form of atps.

glycolysis (6 c hexose) > 2x atps are used > 6c hexose biphosphate > 2 x 3c triphosphate >

2 x 3c pyruvate (2x nadh produced from nad) and (4x atp produced)

pyruvate actively pumped mitochondrial matrix.
