Bacteria and archaea are typically fixed to slides by _____ while eukaryotes with subcellular structure, such as protists, are typically fixed by ______.
heat ; chemicals
The initial statement of the _______ hypothesis proposed that over time a bacterial endosymbiont of an ancestral cell in the eukaryotic lineage lost its ability to live independently.
Endosymbiotic
The endosymbiont then became either a _______, if the intracellular bacterium used aerobic respiration, or a ________, if the endosymbiont was a photosynthetic bacterium.
mitochondrion ; chloroplast
Recently the endosymbiotic hypothesis for mitochondria has been modified by the ______ hypothesis. This asserts that the endosymbiont was an anaerobic bacterium that produced hydrogen and carbon dioxide as end products of its metabolism.
hydrogen
Over time, the host became dependent on the hydrogen produced by the endosymbiont. Ultimately the endosymbiont evolved into one of two organelles. If the endosymbiont developed the capacity to perform _______ respiration, it evolved into a mitochondrion.
aerobic
However, if the endosymbiont did not develop this capacity, it evolved into a __________ - an organelle found in some extant protists that produce ATP by a process called ___________.
hydrogenosome ; fermentation
