Endosymbiosis is a process in which one cell lives inside the
another cell as a mutant benefit. Eukaryotic cells are said to be
lived in prokaryotic cells as a phagocytosis and over generation
these engulfed eukaryotic cells losts its independent utility and
became a supplemental organelle
Mitochondria and chloroblasts are said to be originated by
endosymbiosis because of their similar characteristic features as
follows
Mitochondria and chloroblasts have similar size and morphology
and they both divide by binary fission
The double membrane found in the mitochondria and chloroblast
are important for absorption for the prokaryotic bacteria by the
eukaryotic host cells
Both of these mitochondirs and chloroblasts have their on DNA
and ribosome
Organelle ribosome are more similar to prokaryotic
ribosome
Both of these mitochondria and chloroblasts are arised from the
preexisting one
Many antibiotics such as streptomycin kill or inhibit the
bacteria and also inhibit the protein synthesis of these
organelle
What is primary endosymbiosis? What evidence is there for this? What is secondary endosymbiosis? What kind of organisms are involved? What is the evidence for this theory?
1) What is endosymbiosis? Which organelles may have arisen this
way? What evidence is there for this theory?
2) Which cells in our bodies have cilia and flagella? Can you
find other examples? How do these structures differ in structure
and movement? How are they similar?
3) How do flagella differ between prokaryotes and
eukaryotes?
What evidence supports the theory of endosymbiosis?
Does diffusion happen faster in a membrane rich in saturated or
unsaturated fatty acids? Why?
Diffusion may occur via simple movement across the membrane or
via carrier proteins. Furthermore, various types of carrier
proteins may be involved. Why the need for more than one
mechanism?
Discuss the endosymbiosis theory. Analyze the evidence that
supports the theory, and the problems that refute the theory.
Please be at least 7 sentences and include all the main points.
3a. Describe how genetic evidence using phylogenetic trees
supports the endosymbiosis theory that
mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from bacteria.
3b. It has been observed that certain antibiotics that inhibit the
bacterial ribosome can also adversely affect
mitochondrial activity. How would you explain this observation.
Answer both questions thoroughly and
completely
1) What is the pigment that is present in Eurkaryotes
GENUINELY (without plastid endosymbiosis, and even in animals like
us), which was used for photosynthesis in some relatives of
Eukaryotes?
2) What is the name for those PHOTOYNTHETIC relatives of
Eukaryotes? Genus or informal name that is specific enough.
