The endosymbiotic hypothesis for the origin of chloroplasts from gram-negative prokaryotes is supported by all of the following lines of evidence except:
the presence of enzymes for the light-dependent and the dark reactions of photosynthesis
the presence of circular DNA resembling that of photosynthetic eubacteria
the presence of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA similar to that of the cyanobacteria
their use of mitosis rather than binary fission during cell division
the presence of 70s ribosomes, consisting of 30s and 50s ribosomal subunits
In the three-domain model, the bacterial ancestor of chloroplasts derives from ancient
A) O fungi,
B) O phototrophic eyanobacteria
C) O heterotrophic bacteria.
D) O archaea.
E) O protists,
a) Describe some characteristics and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.b) How do the three domains of life differ from one another?c) Two of the organelles in eukaryotes, the mitochondrion and the chloroplast are believed to haveoriginated through a process of symbiosis. Discuss some of the theories of the origins ofmitochondria and chloroplasts

- Isoprene serves as a building block not only for the hydrocarbons observed in archaeal membranes but also for sterols, carotenoids, retinal, and quinones. Use any resources necessary to identify the function of these other isoprene-based molecules and to determine their distribution in nature. What does the use of isoprene to make this diverse array of molecules suggest about the nature of the last universal common ancestor (LUCA)?arrow_forwardWhat term best describes the following organisms: some with tetramembraneous chloroplasts, some with hairy flagellae, some with pseudopods; some with cuplike indentations in the cell membrane? a) Excavata. b) SAR. c) Plantae. d) Unikonta. The term protista refers to : a) A kingdom within the superkingom SAR. b) A kingdom within the superkingdom Excavata. c) It is a descriptive term or common name for unicellular, colonial, and some multicellular organisms that lack true tissues. d) A phylum within the Kingdom Metazoa. Which term best describes the following organism: a unicellular (single celled) eukaryote that has a single large mitochondrion, and causes Chagas disease or sleeping sickness. a) Hypermastigophora. b) Diplomonada. c) Algae. d) Trypanosoma. e) Rhizopoda. 4.

Why was the great oxygenation event important for mitochondrial development? a) In your own words, define symbiotic. 2. Chloroplasts and mitochondria both contain a circular DNA chromosome, and ribosomes. Why does this evidence support the theory of endosymbiosis as the mechanism for the origin of eukaryotic cells? a) Today, could mitochondria live independently of their eukaryotic cell host? Give two pieces of evidence to support your answer.arrow_forward
- Chloroplasts most likely originated from which of these independent organisms? a) Cyanobacteria b) Purple sulfur bacteria c) Gamma-proteobacteria d) Anoxygenic phototrophsarrow_forwardVolvox carteri, an volvocine alga, has approximately 2000 somatic cells and only 16 reproductive or germ line cells. The observation that multicellular individuals, like Volvox, have a much smaller subset of germ line cells compared to somatic cells appears to be general rule. Which of the following is the best evolutionary explanation for why this is the case? A) Organisms can biologically only contain a small number of germ line cells as they are always larger than somatic cells. B) Multicellular individuals with a germ line vs. somatic cell line differentiation only evolved a single time, thus all members of this lineage share the same scheme of more soma cells with a much smaller subset of germ line cells. C) Having a smaller subset of reproductive cells helps reduce the likelihood of cheating from evolving, which in turns prevents the collapse of the multicellular individual system. D) None of the above.arrow_forwardWhich of the following most likely acquired chloroplasts from secondary endosymbiosis?arrow_forward

What or who was it named after? (Organisms are often named for where they were found, unique morphological or metabolic features, name of the person who discovered it, etc. Attempt both genus and species name. For example, if my organism was Xanthomonas oryzae, I would Google “Xanthomonas word origin.” and “oryzae word origin.” Often a word origin is Greek or Latin, so Google your word followed by “Greek” or “Latin”)arrow_forwardWhich of these would be evidence against endosymbiosis? a) chloroplast have their own DNA O b) their structure resembles that of prokaryotes O c) the presence of one membrane O d) chloroplast resemble cyanobacteriaarrow_forward
