Endosymbiosis

Front

What are the organelles that definitely arose from endosymbiosis?

Back

Chloroplast and Mitochondria.

Front

Do both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a cell membrane?

Back

True.

Front

Which type of cell does NOT contain membrane-bound organelles?

Back

Prokaryotic cells.

Front

How does the presence of intrinsic DNA in mitochondria support the theory of symbiogenesis?

Back

It suggests that mitochondria may have originated from free-living bacteria that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is one piece of evidence for endosymbiosis?

Back

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA.

Front

Define endosymbiosis.

Back

Endosymbiosis is a theory that explains how eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells through a symbiotic relationship.

Front

What is a prokaryotic cell?

Back

A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What is a eukaryotic cell?

Back

A eukaryotic cell is a complex cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in a cell?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What role do mitochondria play in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
