EBDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY is the evolution theory that includes a larger and one smaller cell. The larger cell act as a host and the smaller cell is called the endosymbiont that is engulfed by the host cell. The larger cell referred to eukaryotic cell and the smaller cell represent prokaryotic cell. While BIOCHEMISTRY, is the study of the chemistry of cells and organisms. Thus, it is concerned with the types of molecules found in biological systems, their structure, and their chemical properties.
QUESTION:
How ENDOSYMBIOSIS THEORY applies to this subject (BIOCHEMISTRY)?
Simple systems (of this type) of RNA , enzymes, and coenzymes have been created in the laboratory. Which probable stage of physical and chemical evolution of life is that.

In this post, you will demonstrate an understanding of you've learned about the themes in biology, how life is organized, the types of cellular life forms, evolution, and the process of scientific thinking. Choose one concept and describe your understanding of the concept, add information to that concept and lastly pose a question to the class so that they can get involved.arrow_forwardENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY is the evolution theory that includes a larger and one smaller cell.

- One of the simplest definitions of a life-form is anything with the capacity to reproduce and regulate itself. Before life began, the complex organic, or hydrocarbon-bearing, molecules that makeup RNA and DNA, the building blocks of life, must have formed. No one knows exactly how life is formed from these molecules, but many ideas have been put forward. As you enter this area, go toward the large video screen on the right and explore the “Life at the hydrothermal Vents” label deck. Some scientists theorize that life begins at deep-sea vents. Find three lines of evidence to support this claim.arrow_forwardAn astrobiologist discovers a new form of life on another planet. Life here appears to have evolved using DNA as the information storage molecule and proteins to carry out cellular function, much like on Earth, however the individual building blocks on this planet are different. On this planet, there appear to be 3 different nucleotides in the DNA and 30 different amino acids in the proteins. Which of the following conclusions about this form of life would be most justified? These organisms can produce proteins no more than 30 amino acids in length. These organisms must produce 30 different forms of mRNA Amino acids must be coded by sets of 3 nucleotides in the DNA of the organisms on this planet. Amino acids must be coded by sets of at least 4 nucleotides in the DNA of the organisms on this planet. These organisms cannot produce more than 30 kinds of protein.arrow_forwardMatch the term of "hierarchy" of life with examples of each below: - DNA- heart of a human or leaf of a plant- skeletal muscle, smooth muscle or cardiac muscle- bacterium- nucleus or chloroplast- hydrogen (one proton and one electron)1. atom2. molecule3. organelle4. cell5. organ6. tissuearrow_forward
- The following is a synthesis sequence or progression that is a hypothesis for Chemical evolution: elements, ionic and covalent bonding to form simple molecules, these simple molecules form simple organic monomers, the monomers undergo dehydration synthesis to form bio polymers, formation of micelles (Pre cells). This concept a) can only be observed in living cells, b) is a theory that proves that life could not evolve on other planets. c) is a hypothetical model that can be confirmed in the laboratory, d) is a hypothesis that has no supporting evidence from rocks that predate the presence of cells in the fossil record. e) These are all true.arrow_forwardCan you identify the major theme illustrated by each of the following examples? If necessary, you may review the themes in Chapter 1 of your book Match the themes on the left with the examples on the right. Not all themes will be used. Interactions within biological systems Information flow Evolution Pathways that transform energy and matter Relationship of structure to function Reset Help Every cell contains a DNA "cookbook" that provides directions on how to make and maintain that cell When a cell reproduces, it must duplicate its DNA, providing one copy to the new offspring cell while keeping one copy for itself Wattion and Crick realized that the chemical properties of each kind of base in DNA dictated the base pairings Each base has protruding chemical groups that can best form hydrogen bonds with only one appropriate partner Besides having practical purposes, a shared genetic vocabulary also reminds us of the kinship that connects all life on Earth The process of DNA replication…arrow_forward1) Select the concept below that best demonstrates compartmentalization of function in living things.
