Eukaryotes Flashcards
]
List organelles specific to Eukaryotes (other than a nucleus!) (7)
a. Mitochondria
b. Chloroplast
c. Endoplasmic Reticulum
d. Golgi Apparatus
e. Centrosomes
f. Peroxisomes
g. Lysosomes
Origins: Eukaryotes formed from a common ancestor with the __________ (other domain) (Step 1)
Archaea
Origins: An _________ of the cell membrane around its chromosome(s) gave rise to the _________ and the _________ system.
Invagination
Nucleus
Endomembrane
Endosymbiosis: Many Eukaryotes (e.g. Amoeba) without cell walls can take in food by __________.
Phagocytosis
Endosymbiosis: Origin of Mitochondria was by engulfing a ________ that survived and over time adapted to life inside the cell. (Step 2)
Alpha Proteobacteria
Endosymbiosis: Origin of Chloroplast was by engulfing a ________ that survive and over time adapted to life inside the cell. (Step 3)
Cyanobacteria
How do Mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce inside the cell?
Binary fission
Origin of the Chloroplast happened in which super group?
Archaeplastida
List several pieces of evidence that support the endosymbiotic theory.
Have their own circular DNA
Contain their own components for DNA transcription/translation
Have more in common with the ribosomes in prokaryotes
Their rRNA is more similar to bacteria
Endosymbiosis: Origin of Secondary Chloroplasts (Step 4) was by engulfing a _________ that survive and over time adapted to life inside the cell.
Algal cell
Red algae gave rise to chloroplasts in the __________.
S.A.R. super group
Green algae gave rise to chloroplasts in the __________.
Excavata super group
What evidence supports the serial origin of the chloroplast in these groups? (Secondary Chloroplasts)
The Red and Green algae were already formed and were engulfed by a different eukaryote, the algae simplified over time into chloroplast but kept the extra membrane layers
What are the 4 steps in the origins of the Eukaryote?
1st: Formation of nucleus and endomembrane system
2nd: Formation of mitochondria
3rd: Formation of chloroplast from cyanobacteria
4th: Formation of chloroplast from an algal cell
Diversity-Super Groups: Protists are ___________.
All groups except Plants, Animals, and Fungi
Diversity-Super Groups: We (animals) belong in the super group __________ along with ________, that we saw in lab.
Unikonta
Fungi
Diversity-Super Groups: Plants and red algae form the super group __________.
Archaeplastida
Diversity-Super Groups: Trypanosoma and Euglena are in the _________.
Excavata
Diversity-Super Groups: List the organisms we saw in lab from the “SAR” super group:
Bacillariophyta (Diatoms)
Foraminifera (Forams)
Radiolarians
Brown Algae
Dinoflagellates
Apicomplexans
Ciliates
Ecological terms: Plankton are __________.
small organism that are free floating and can’t move against the current
Ecological terms: Phytoplankton can do __________ and form the base of the aquatic __________.
Photosynthesis
Ecosystems
Zooplankton eat ___________ and are the next step in the aquatic __________.
Bacteria and Algae
Food chain
