In marine ecology, the term "kleptoplasty" describes a symbiotic phenomenon where a host organism sequesters functional chloroplasts from digested algae and uses them to perform photosynthesis. ______ the sea slug *Elysia chlorotica* feeds on the alga *Vaucheria litorea* and is subsequently able to survive for months solely on the energy produced by these stolen organelles.
Which choice completes the passage with the most logical transition?
- AConsequently,
- In fact,Cevap
- CNevertheless,
- DFurthermore,
Cevap
The transition 'In fact' logically connects the general definition of kleptoplasty to the specific example of the sea slug *Elysia chlorotica*.
The transition 'In fact' logically connects the two sentences. The first sentence defines the general biological phenomenon of kleptoplasty, in which an organism captures and uses chloroplasts from algae. The second sentence provides a specific example of this process in action: the sea slug *Elysia chlorotica* feeding on alga and utilizing its chloroplasts to survive. 'In fact' is used to introduce an elaboration or specific instance of a previously stated concept, making it the most logical fit.
