Parent topics
- Cell (biology) [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. [e]
- Evolution of cells [r]: The birth of cells marked the passage from pre-biotic chemistry to partitioned units resembling modern cells. [e]
- Lynn Margulis [r]: (1938) An American biologist whose work on the origin of eukaryotic organelles led to general acceptance of the endosymbiotic theory; also a leading proponent of the Gaia hypothesis. [e]
- Konstantin Mereschkowski [r]: (1855-1921), A Russian biologist whose research on lichens led him to propose the theory of symbiogenesis - that larger, more complex cells evolved from the symbiotic relationship between less complex ones. [e]
- Ivan Wallin [r]: (1883-1969), An American biologist, the first to propose that chloroplasts and mitochondria originated as symbiotic bacteria. [e]
Subtopics
- Chloroplast [r]: The green organelles found in many higher plant cells and protists. Internal thylakoid membranes contain chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place. [e]
- Cyanobacteria [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Mitochondrion [r]: Structure, function, life cycle and evolutionary theories involving the origins and role of the mitochondrion. [e]
- Rickettsiales [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Binary fission [r]: A form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by all prokaryotes and some organelles within eukaryotic organisms. [e]
- Ribosome [r]: A supramolecular structure in cells made from proteins and RNA; it is the machine that translates the genetic code and synthesizes amino acids into the correct protein sequence. [e]
- Phylogenetic [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Chlorophyll [r]: A green pigment found in most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. [e]
- Nucleomorph [r]: A reduced eukaryotic nuclei found in certain plastids from cryptomonads and chlorarachniophytes; evidence of the evolutionary origin of plastids by endosymbiosis. [e]
- Apicoplast [r]: A relict, non-photosynthetic plastid surrounded by four membranes, proposed to have evolved via secondary endosymbiosis; found in most Apicomplexa, including malaria parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum. [e]
- Organelle [r]: Specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, and is usually separately enclosed within its own lipid membrane, found in all eukaryotic cells. [e]
- Gene [r]: The functional unit of heredity. [e]
- DNA [r]: A macromolecule — chemically, a nucleic acid — that stores genetic information. [e]
- Horizontal gene transfer [r]: Transfer of genetic material to a being other than one of the donor's offspring. [e]
- Protist [r]: A unicellular organism grouped into the kingdom Protista that may have characteristics of plants and/or animals. [e]
- Bacteria [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Algae [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Symbiosis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Endosymbiosis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Endocytosis [r]: Add brief definition or description
