Document Summary

Explain why the loss of the cell wall was important for the development of the eukaryotic cell. Protists: explain how the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplast formed, list the evidence for endosymbiosis, explain why protists are paraphyletic, list all the traits that we see rst in protists, as compared to the prokaryotes. Cell walls are great for protection, but only allow small particles to pass through. With loss of cell wall, exible plasma membrane can surround and engulf large food particles (called endocytosis), thus ingesting food. One hypothesis: infolding of plasma membrane (seen in bacteria) Nucleus separates transcription and translation; regulation of gene expression. Endosymbiosis theory (margulis) (made possible through the loss of a cell wall) how eukaryotes got mitochondria and chloroplasts. To be complete, the symbiont (ingested one) must be passed to the offspring of the host. Over time, parts (but not all) of the symbiont.
