Today's Topic: Evolution Friday
At the end of the cell structure chapter in the Sadava text is a section on the evolution and origin of organelles. Beyond theory, one way to study the development of cellular structures or specializations is to look at existent organisms that do not fit the typical cellular model that we reviewed this week. These anomalous structures can give us insight into possible evolutionary steps.
Daily Challenge:
Review the section of your text on the origin of organelles. What follows is a list of organisms or terms that describe some type of anomaly in typical cell models. Pick one to write about.
- Zooxanthella
- Planctomycetes
- Borrelia burgdorferi
- Rhodobacter
- Amitochondrial
