BIO203H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Cell Wall, Plastid, Chromoplast
Document Summary
The ancestral prokaryote had dna just floating around, it"s dna: 2 events of endosymbiosis followed. No need to know fine details of division but must know the 3 possibility wasn"t enclosed domains. Chapter3 p. 43-71, chapter 5 p. 93-126. For a plant to be holoparasitic is that it holds a connection between itself and it"s host (physical connection helps it to obtain water and nutrients it can obtain products of photosynthesis) We would have way less oxygen in the atmosphere without. We know that co2 is building up in the atmosphere: can plants use up this co2 and decrease the amounts, it won"t happen immediately but over time this is a plants. What"s special about the plant cell is that the mitochondria are the point of cellular respiration. Chromoplast is another example of a plastid which stores a lot of pigments lipid synthesis. Leucoplasts are large, unpigmented plastids involved in fat and.
