Evolution of Eukaryotic Cells: From Prokaryotes to Mitochondria and Chloroplasts, Quizzes of Biochemistry

An overview of the evolution of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotes, including the loss of cell walls, the acquisition of the ability to obtain nutrients through phagocytosis, and the symbiotic relationships that led to the development of mitochondria and chloroplasts. The text also discusses the evidence supporting this theory, including the presence of bacterial genes in the eukaryotic nucleus and the similarities between prokaryotic and mitochondrial/chloroplastic ribosomes.

TERM 2
How Eukaryotic Cells Evolved
DEFINITION 2
Prokaryotic cells lost cell wall
Gained ability to obtain nutrients by ph agocytosing other
prokaryotes
Cyanobacteria evolved and the atm osphere became aerobic
Anaerobic prokaryote engulfed an ae robicbacteriaand
established symbiotic relationship with it to become the
mitochondrion
Cyanobacteria made chloroplastsSpiro chete bacteria made cilia
and flagella
TERM 3
Endosymbiosis
DEFINITION 3
Prokaryote lost cell wall
Plasma membrane folded inwards > e ndoplasmic reticulum and
nuclear envelope
engulfed aerobicprokaryotes>mitoch ondria
makes ancestral heterotrophic euk aryote
Evidence:Mitochondria and chloropla sts contain DNA (in circular
form like in prokaryotes)Eukaryotic nu cleus contains bacterially
derived genes
TERM 4
Evidence:
DEFINITION 4
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain DNA (in circular form like
in prokaryotes)
Eukaryotic nucleus contains bacteria lly derived genes
Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own ribosomes,
which are the same size asprokaryot icribosomes
Antibiotic specificity - many antibiotic s work by stopping
ribosome function in bacteria ribosom es/mitochondria/chloroplasts
Molecular phylogeny - ribosomal RNA sequencing shows they're
derived from bacteria
TERM 5
Protozoa
DEFINITION 5
Unicellular,eukaryoticorganisms.Lack cell walls and are
motile.They don't have a common evolutionary heritage.
