Q
  • infolding can occur, creating internal membranes and making more surface area
  • allowed endo-cytosis to develop
A

flexible cell surface

23
Q

likely to have arisen from the plasma membrane

A

nuclear envelope

24
Q

______ of a prokaryote is attached to the plasma membrane

A

DNA

25
Q

created a double layer of phospholipids that surrounded the DNA, giving rise to the nucleus

A

Inward folding of the plasma membrane

proposed by de Duve in 1966)

26
Q

infolding of the plasma membrane was also the most plausible origin of other or-ganelles,

A

the rough endoplasmic reticulum
the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
the Golgi apparatus

27
Q

had a cytoskeleton and perhaps flagella

A

the first true eukaryotes

28
Q

allowed a conversion from extracellular digestion to intracellular digestion

A

Membrane internalization

29
Q

the process in which food particles are engulfed and digested

A

phagocytosis

30

Q

phagocytized a proteobacterium

A

primitive eukaryotic

Q

Rather than digesting it………….

A

the eukaryotic cell maintained the proteobacterium inside its cytoplasm

33
Q

evolved into the mitochondrion

A

proteobacterium

34
Q

Mitochondria are believed to have originated from the

A

a-proteobacteria, specifically the species Rickettsia

41
Q

initial function of the ____ may have been to detoxify the increasing amounts of O2 in the atmosphere by reducing it to water

A

mitochondrion

46
Q

gave rise to multi-cellular fungi, animals and plants

A

Single-celled eukaryotes

47
Q

a primitive eukaryotic cell incorporated a photosynthetic prokaryote related to
