The chloroplasts in eukaryotes closely resemble cyanobacteria, as first noted by French scientist Andreas Schimper. Cyanobacteria are bacteria that produce energy for themselves through photosynthesis.
The organelles that conduct photosynthesis and closely resemble cyanobacteria are called chloroplasts. These organelles are found in the cells of plants and algae, and they contain chlorophyll, which captures light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are thought to have originated from an endosymbiotic relationship with ancestral cyanobacteria.
if they are plant cells
Photosynthesis is the process that uses chloroplasts in eukaryotes. Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles that contain chlorophyll, enabling them to capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water.
Some unicellular eukaryotes that contain chloroplasts are Chlamydomonas, Euglena, and diatoms. These organisms are capable of photosynthesis due to the presence of chloroplasts, which enables them to produce their own food.
I think it's animalia.
Lysosomes, no, eukaryotes have them too. Chloroplasts yes.
No, photophosphorylation occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is a process in photosynthesis where light energy is used to phosphorylate ADP to ATP. In prokaryotes, it mainly occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts, while in eukaryotes, it occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
The resemble bravery, beauty and the glory of ancient Greeks.
The ribosomes of chloroplasts closely resemble bacterial ribosomes, while mitochondrial ribosomes show both similarities and differences that make their origin more difficult to trace.
Bacteria is typically smaller than Eukaryotes. In fact, Eukaryotes have an organelle called the mitochondria which resemble an enveloped bacteria.
Thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of cyanobacteria because chloroplasts are believed to have evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. During evolution, the cyanobacteria that were engulfed by a host cell eventually became mutually beneficial, leading to the development of chloroplasts. The structural similarity between the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria is a remnant of this evolutionary relationship.
Unicellular eukaryotes that contain chloroplasts include various groups of protists, particularly the green algae (Chlorophyta), diatoms, and dinoflagellates. These organisms engage in photosynthesis, utilizing chloroplasts to convert sunlight into energy. Some notable examples are Chlamydomonas and Euglena, which are capable of photosynthesis and can thrive in various aquatic environments. These chloroplasts are derived from endosymbiotic events involving cyanobacteria.
