How does endosymbiosis relate to photosynthesis?
Through 2ndary endosymbiosis, photosythesis got to occcur in certain organisms
An example of Endosymbiosis
the development of photosynthesis
What were the 2 hypotheses for how photosynthesis got found in a certain species? (mentioned in lecture 9, feb 6)
1: photosynthesis was ancestral
#2: photosynthesis evolved through repeated endosymbiosis events
Which theory for photosynthesis was correct? Why?
Which protist group are known for hairy flagelum?
Stremenopiles, for example,
Difference between mutualistt, Commensalism, parasite
positive effect on both
positive for one
positive for one, negative for other
Fungi are
heterotrophic
What are hyphae
on mushrooms
How did chloroplast originate
Endosymbiosm of cyanobacteria and red and green algae
What are stremenopiles
diatoms, brown algae, oomycytes
Plastids
organelles found in plant cells and algae
(ex: chlorplast)
descendent of cyanobacteria
came through endosymbiosis, organelle
Cyanobacteria, was engulfed by a non-photosynthetic thing
and cyanobacteria became
