The Eukaryotic Leap

The theme of "The Eukaryotic Leap" is to understand just how different eukaryotes and prokaryotes are in structure and physical constraint. Based on their organelles - mitochondria & chloroplasts, we understand what they look like and a simplified look at how they generate energy. We also dive into the function of each of the primary parts of the endomembrane in eukaryotes. Most importantly, the endosymbiotic theory is discussed - which sheds light on the evolution of both mitochondria and chloroplasts and how their primitive ancestors were engulfed in a host cell. #eukaryotes #prokaryotes #endosymbiotes #endosymbiosis #mitochondria #powerhouseofthecell #cellularrespiration #chloroplasts #photosynthesis #eukaryotic
