6. cellular symbiosis among prokaryotic cells

7. What is a symbiosis?

8. When two dissimilar organisms live together and form an intimate and life- sustaining relationship that is mutually beneficial.

9. What is a prokaryote?

10. A cellular organism (such as bacterium or blue- green alga) that does not have a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus.

11. How did Cellular Symbiosis happen?

12. Since: 1) Apparently, the first cells to appear in the fossil record (3.5 billion years ago) were bacteria-like and prokaryotic

13. How did Cellular Symbiosis happen? Since: 1) Apparently, the first cells to appear in the fossil record (3.5 billion years ago) were bacteria-like and prokaryotic AND: 2) Eukaryotic cells have organelles and a nucleus,

14. Cellular Symbiosis Scientists postulate or hypothesize that: The origin of complex eukaryotic cells was most likely a type of symbiosis among prokaryotic cells.

15. Cellular Symbiosis Scientists postulate or hypothesize that: The origin of complex eukaryotic cells was most likely a type of symbiosis among prokaryotic cells. This may have involved aerobic bacteria which were engulfed by anaerobic bacteria that were unable to tolerate the increasing oxygen (anaerobic) in the atmosphere caused by photosynthetic bacteria. These engulfed aerobic bacteria had the necessary enzymes for deriving energy in the presence of oxygen and may have become the mitochondria found in most modern eukaryotic cells.

16. Similarly, Scientists hypothesize that: Engulfed photosynthetic bacteria evolved into chloroplasts; which are the descendants of the green algae lineage, later giving rise to multicellular plants.

17. Protozoa are a diverse assemblage with mixed characteristics: a. They lack a cell wall, unlike plants b. They have at least one motile stage in the life cycle. c. Most ingest their food.
