Biologists think that endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria before plastids partly because
(A) the products of photosynthesis could not be
(B) all eukaryotes have mitochondria (or their remnants), whereas many eukaryotes do not have plastids.
(C) mitochondrial DNA is less similar to prokaryotic DNA than is plastid DNA.
(D) without mitochondrial CO2 production, photosynthesis could not occur.

In lecture, we discussed the endosymbiont theory that describes the evolutionary
origins of mitochondria and chloroplast. A few scientists think that peroxisomes also
have an endosymbiotic evolutionary origin, although most scientists disagree with
this hypothesis. Which of the following hypothetical discoveries would provide
support for the hypothesis that peroxisomes evolved from bacteria?
Discovering that eukaryotic cells cannot live without peroxisomes.
All of these hypothetical discoveries would provide support for the hypothesis
that peroxisomes have an endosymbiotic evolutionary origin.
Identifying the presence of DNA within peroxisomes.
Determining that the majority of proteins in peroxisomes have eukaryotic origin.
What evidence supports the hypothesis that mitochondriapreceded plastids in the evolution of eukaryotic cells?

- A scientist discovered a new group of unicellular organisms that lack mitochondria but possess an organelle related to the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in energy production. The scientist hypothesizes that this organelle might be a missing link in the evolution of mitochondria. A) Do you agree with this hypothesis? Explain. B) Based on the available evidence, what is the most likely hypothesis for the origin of mitochondria? Provide four pieces of evidence to support this theory and justify why they are valid.arrow_forwardWhat evidence supports the hypothesis that mitochondria preceded plastids in the evolution of Eukaryotes cells?arrow_forwardPhotosynthetic protists with shells composed of two halves that fit together like a petri dish are (a) golden algae (b) diatoms (c) euglenoids (d) brown algae (e) foramsarrow_forward

- Horizontal gene transfer probably started soon after endosymbiosis. It has resulted in genes being moved from the mitochondrion to the nucleus. What is a reasonable explanation for why some genes still remain in the mitochondria? A. The products of those genes are rapidly damaged and need to be quickly replaced. B. The products of those genes are not required for organelle function. C. The ability for lateral gene transfer ended about a billion years ago and some genes simply got “stuck” within mitochondria. D. The products of those genes are only needed in the mitochondria.arrow_forwardThe Amoeba cell exhibits specialized abilities that enable it to react to a stimulus by producing a response or a behavior. It can do this because it has adapted properties exhibited by simpler more primitive cells. These cellular properties include a) Separation of the fluid environments inside and outside the cell. b) Active transport of Na+ out of and K+ into the cell, c) diffusion of Na+ in to and K+ out of a cell in reaction to a stimulus, d) the stimulus interacting with a receptor site in a membrane embedded protein, e) All of these are true.arrow_forwardLabel the following diagrams.
