Unit 7 Flashcards
what do eukaryotic cells contain?
organelles
- nucleus
- mitochondria
- GA
- ER
- chloroplasts
what are eukaryotic cells bc of endosymbiosis?
genetic chimera
what are the two energy producing organelles?
mitochondria and chloroplasts
what are mitochondria ancestors of?
respiratory bacteria
what are chloroplasts ancestors of?
phototrophic bacteria
where did mitochondria and chloroplasts get their own DNA from?
bacteria
what is the endosymbiosis hypothesis?
- established residence inside another cell type
- host cell was safe and stable
- M and C gave host cell ATP
what is the support for the endosymbiotic hypothesis?
- mito and chloro have own DNA
- eukaryotic nucleus have genes from Bacteria
- organellar ribosomes and phylogeny
- antibiotic specificity
- hydrogenosomes
mitochondria and chloroplasts contain DNA
- proteins are encoded by nuclear DNA
- molecules encoded by organelles genes: respiratory chain proteins (mito), photosynthetic apparatus proteins (chloro), r RNA/ t RNA
- circular, covalently closed genome (prokaryotic feature)
eukaryotic nucleus contains genes from B
- ancestor of mito (chloro) had the genes
- engulfed cells showed up (intake of bacterial cells)
- genes transferred to host nucleus during transition
organellar ribosomes and phylogeny
- 70S ribosomes (bacterial feature)
- cytosolic ribosomes in eukaryotic cell are 80S
antibiotic specificity
- antibiotic kill or inhibit B by interrupting 70S ribosome protein synthesis functions
- same antibiotics also inhibit protein synthesis in mito anc chloro
hydrogenosomes
- membrane enclosed organelles
- own DNA and ribosomes
- in certain amitochondriate eukaryotic anaerobes
- phylogenetic analyses of hydrogenosome r RNA show connected to B phylogenetically
primary endosymbiosis
gave rise to chloroplast in common ancestor of green algae, red algae, plants
- mito
- chloro
- hydrogenosomes
- organelles from B
common ancestor + chloroplasts = ?
green algae, red algae, plants
