2 Prokaryote & Eukaryote Evolution

3 Cellular Evolution Current evidence indicates that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes between 1 and 1.5 billion years agoCurrent evidence indicates that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes between 1 and 1.5 billion years ago Two theories:Two theories: 1.Infolding theory 2.Endosymbiotic theory
4
4 Infolding Theory The infolding of the prokaryotic plasma membrane gave rise to eukaryotic organelles.The infolding of the prokaryotic plasma membrane gave rise to eukaryotic organelles. infolding organelle

47 Nutrition, Respiration, and Reproduction
48
48 Modes of Nutrition Parasites – feed on a host cellParasites – feed on a host cell Photoautotroph – use sunlight to make foodPhotoautotroph – use sunlight to make food Chemoautotroph – oxidize inorganic matter such as iron or sulfur to make foodChemoautotroph – oxidize inorganic matter such as iron or sulfur to make food
