Ch.3.1 Endosymbiosis

Which cells have chloroplasts? What function do they serve?

What are the key differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Based on what we learned in lecture today, in your own words, describe endosymbiosis.

What do you already know? What function do mitochondria serve in the cell?

What evidence did shows that mitochondria act like bacteria?

What other endosymbionts exist?

It seems Mendel's laws of inheritance can be broken. How did Margulis explain this?

What was one obstacle that previously prevented endosymbiosis from being accepted?

What evidence would we find in cells if mitochondria did NOT arise via endosymbiosis?

Imagine a new exciting scientific discovery is made. Do you think the scientific community responds in similar ways as they did to Margulis when new theories arise? Explain your thinking.
