Q

What is the process of Endo symbiosis

A
  1. We first start off with a prokaryotic cell and a cell membrane infolds increasing surface area
  2. The end folded membrane create a nucleus in the cell and becomes the first eukaryotes
  3. aeriobic protobacterium enters the cell (and is not digested). The bacteria evolves and comes mitochondria
  4. The Aerobic cells evolved and uses oxygen to gain more energy
  5. Some eukaryotes engulf Cyanobacteria my which evolved into chloroplast

Q

What are they for the evidences for Endosymbiosis

A
  1. Mitochondria and chloroplast have their own DNA and ribosomes
  2. The cell membranes of mitochondria and chloroplast are more similar to bacteria than eukaryotic organelles
  3. The cell cannot create new mitochondrion or chloroplast On their ownif they removed
  4. New mitochondria chloroplast are created by binary fission which is a way that bacteria produce asexually

Q

5 Characteristics of eukaryotes

A
  1. They are much larger than prokaryotes
  2. They contain membrane-bound organelles and cytoskeleton
  3. Dna in bundles call chromosomes and are stored in nucleus
  4. Contain mitochondria and sometimes call Chloroplast/plastids
  5. But they aren’t a difference among plants, animal, fungi , other eukaryotic cells

Q

What is a protist and what are some of its characteristics

Q

What is a paraphyly

A

Common ancestor but some living descendants

  • if some species are shun from biologists so the group entirely is paraphyly

Q

What is polyphyly

A

Does not include most recent ancestor
- typically a mistake that happened and occurred in mostly older grouu u ps. Mistake bc we use too o organize them bass off of theirs and not genomes

Q

What are the 4 super Eukarya groups?

A

Excavata, SAR, Archaeplastids, unikonta

All come from one common ancestor

17
Q

What super groups are protists

A

Excavata and SAR

Protists are paraphylytic (not including plants, animals and fungi)

18
Q

What are the major groups key morphological characteristics and some specific examples of Excavata

A

Major groups: diploma ads and parabasalids, euglenozoans
Characteristics : modified mitochondria like microsomes ( small mitochondria) and hydroenosomes
Examples: giardia (parasites)

19
Q

Diatom

A

Protists that include most of oxygenetic photosynthesis located in ocean

Most important photosynthesis

20
Q

Primary Endo symbiosis

A

Is the first ancestral eukaryotes eating bacteria becoming mitochondria

21
Q

Secondary Endo symbiosis

A

Engulfs red algae to create new protists

22
Q

What are SAR Major groups, characteristics, examples

A

Stramwnopiles (hairy and smooth flagella) , aleveolates( membrane enclosed sac) , rhizarians (amobaes with threadlike pseudopodia

Ex plasmodium (parasite causes malaria)

23
Q

Why are single celled eukaryotes essential in our ecology

A

Most protists are aquatic so they make up 30% of the worlds photosynthesis
 form symbiotic mutualism‘s with animals
