1.2~1.3 Cell Compartmentalization and Endosymbiosis

Question 1

Compartmentalization

Answer 1

The way that the organelles within the cell are organised into areas and function

Question 2

Advantages of Compartmentalization

Answer 2

Improves efficiency of cellular functions and prevents dangerous molecules from roaming within the cell

Question 3

Structural evidence of endosymbiosis

Answer 3

Mitochondria and chloroplast resemble bacterial structure, double membrane structure

Question 4

Genetic evidence of endosymbiosis

Answer 4

Mitochondria and chloroplast have their own circular DNA and ribosomes, like bacteria

Question 5

Functional evidence of endosymbiosis

Answer 5

Mitochondria and chloroplast move freely within the cell and reproduce independently from the cell
