Endosymbiosis — evidence?
Organelle DNA, double membranes, bacterial size, division, ribosomes.
Endosymbiosis — definition?
Organism engulfs another, forming symbiosis.
Water — property?
Forms hydrogen bonds, acts as solvent, exhibits cohesion and density anomalies.
Mitochondria & chloroplasts — origin?
Derived from free-living bacteria.
Macromolecules — composition?
Proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids; built from monomers.
Membrane layers — significance?
Double membranes indicate engulfing event.
Circular chromosome — presence?
Both organelles contain bacterial-like DNA.
Division method — mitochondria/chloroplasts?
Divide independently via binary fission.
Ribosome size in organelles?
70S, similar to bacteria.
Endosymbiosis — importance?
Explains origin of energy and photosynthesis organelles.
