Document Summary

The endosymbiotic theory: states that early eukaryotes became hosts to aerobic and photosynthetic prokaryotes, which we now know as mitochondria and chloroplasts respectively. Chloroplast: has a double membrane around its exterior and an interior that is filled with hundreds of flattened and stacked membranes called thylakoids. These thylakoid stacks are organized into piles called grana. It is within these membranes, that pigments and enzymes participate in photosynthesis; harness light energy, and together with carbon dioxide, make important organic sugars and gaseous oxygen. Mitochondria: the outer membrane surrounds the organelle, and the inner membrane is connected to a series of sac-like structures called cristae. It is in these membranes that most of the atp is synthesized in eukaryotic cells. Symbiotic relationships: eukaryotic organisms that in their lifetime acquire the ability to engage in photosynthesis only after they have engulfed photosynthetic bacteria that perform these functions; these functions must then become heritable.
