endosymbiotic theory
our mitochondria were once free living bacteria
who invented endosymbiotic theory
Lynn margulis 1967
what question did a cell biologist ask himself
how did life go from single cell to multicellular organisms?
what things are organelles?
Golgi apparatus, mitochondira, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes
organelle
sub cellular (smaller than a cell) structure that important for life but by them selves organelles are not alive
ribosomes
help with protein synthesis
DNA mRNA ribosomes
enzymes are a type of protein
endocytosis
process where cell “capture” other cell as a food source
aerobic respiration
process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen
first step of endosymbiosis
early cell engulfed aerobic bacteria
second step of endosymbiosis
they lost ability to live by themselves became mitochondria, chloroplast
where does bacteria produce their energy
cell membrane
prokaryotes
single celled organisms lacking membrane bound organelles
chloroplast and mitchchonira both contain their own
dna and ribosomes
circular dna
bacteria and mito
endosymbiosis
cell offers bacteria protection, moist environment (no drying out), food is brought to them
evidence for endosymbiosis
Mitch and bacteria-what in common?
evidence for endosymbiosis 1
Mitch have DNA
evidence for endosymbiosis 2
DNA genes, proteins, enzymes. Mitch has all enzymes needed for ATP
evidence for endosymbiosis 3
mitch have circular DNA like bacteria
evidence for endosymbiosis 4
mitch reproduce like bacteria
evidence for endosymbiosis 5
mitoribosomes, unique ribosomes in mitch
evidence for endosymbiosis 6
atp production and mitoribosomes in inner membrane
evidence for endosymbiosis 7
same size
