Cytoskeleton Adds structure to the interior of eukaryotes. Moves organelles and materials through the cell Composed of Multiple Protein types
Cytoskeleton Wikimedia Commons
Mitochondria Allow the use of oxygen in metabolism Found in almost all Eukaryotes Contain a circular piece of DNA Contain Ribosomes Divide by Binary Fission
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts Example of a Plastid Organelle Found in all Photosynthetic Eukaryotes Contain a circular piece of DNA Contain Ribosomes Divide by Binary Fission
Chloroplasts
Endosymbiotic Theory Explains the origin of the mitochondria and plastid organelles Degenerate endosymbiotic prokaryotes Allows for hypothesis formation and testing.
Endosymbiotic Theory Aerobic Eubacteria Photosynthetic Eubacteria Protoeukaryote Aerobic Eukaryote Photosynthetic Eukaryote
Evidence Supporting Theory Organelle ribosomes more closely resemble eubacterial ribosomes than eukaryotic ribosomes. DNA of Mitochondria is closely related to Rickettsia eubacteria. DNA of Chloroplasts is closely related to blue-green photosynthetic eubacteria.
