The article selected for this analytical essay was "How the First Plant Came to Be," by David Biello conversing about Dana Price and the discovery she made. The main argument that is presented in this article is that the glaucophyte Cyanophora paradoxa has a genome of about 70 million base pairs, however; only modern plants have the gene to make the merger of photosynthesizer and a larger host cell possible meaning that capture had to have happened only one time. In my opinion, since they both can self-replicate and have their own DNA it show how they were once not dependent. Chloroplast and mitochondria "highflyer" of the parent cells and could subsist on their own. ATP is used in photosynthesis making it having a connection. Having an organelle that is so intriguing coming from a mutation just sounds insane. However, there could have been lots of organelles that were never passed down, which would have no record of existence. .
As stated in the article "According to the analysis of C. paradoxa's genome of roughly 70 million base pairs, this capture must have occurred only one because most modern plants share the genes that make the merger of photosynthesizer and larger host cell possible. Not only was the original host and the free-ranging photosynthesizer needed to have that coalition but also from a bacterial parasite. "These three entities forged the nascent organelle, and the process was aided by multiple horizontal gene transfers as well form other bacteria," said biologist Debashish Bhattacharya of Rutgers University. Before the success of life and the hardened cell walls of plants coming to be gene picking was expected to be happening. As a matter of fact, events like this are so distinct that evolutionary biologists could only find one same example being the photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella that also showed to have come form cyanobacteria.
ATP is used in photosynthesis making it having a connection. ... Chimeras are animals that have cells made from the origins of two or more different species. ... The chloroplasts is where photosynthesis takes place, particularly using chlorophyll. ... Photosynthesis is a very complex process. ... The sugar that is produced during photosynthesis is the source of food for most living things. ...
Until 1955 the only sources of diamond were found in deposits of volcanic origin. ... These special compounds are produced only by plants, by the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process in which chlorophyll traps and uses energy from the sun in the form of light. ... The carbon cycle, temporarily interrupted in this manner, is completed as fuels are burned, and carbon dioxide and water are again added to the atmosphere for reuse by living things, and the solar energy stored by photosynthesis ages ago is released. ...
Humans benefits from the entire plant kingdom and its more than 1 billion years of photosynthesis. ... Similarities do exist among all these cell types; however, these similarities indicate the common origin and the interrelationships of the different plant species. ... Photosynthesis Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle. ... In the atmosphere, it exists as colorless, odorless carbon dioxide gas, which is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis. ... Plants obtain energy directly from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis, and they use this energy to build u...
The origin of the characteristics were mapped by the descriptions of the clues. ... Plants are autotrophic eukaryotes that undergo photosynthesis for nutrition while fungi are heterotrophs that receive nutrition from the food they grow on or near and are fed by absorption. ...
Sections on plants and the chemical proceses that go into photosynthesis. ... Today we have a vast knowledge of how plants work through photosynthesis but this wasn't always the case. ... In 1804 DeSaussare would explain the role of water in photosynthesis. ...
Cyanobacteria carried out photosynthesis, a process that traps the energy of the sun and uses it to build glucose, an organic molecule, from water and carbon dioxide. Organisms that used photosynthesis no longer had to depend on organic molecules dissolved in water, and released oxygen so that the atmosphere and oceans became more favorable environments for advanced life forms. ... When Charles Darwin wrote his book, Origin of the Species, He gave many examples of variations within species, and tried to use them to prove evolution outside of true species. ...
The third point is that all life on Earth has a common origin. ... Not only that, but most organisms are alike because they all either get their energy required for the main processes done in life, including reproduction, by consuming sunlight through photosynthesis or by eating green plants. ...
Another idea would be gas producing factories trapping solar radiation that mimics the photosynthesis process, "inhaling carbon dioxide and emitting oxygen"(Bonsor online). ... There are quite a few landmarks that the "precision which they are placed on Cydonia, makes it unmistakably of intelligent origin"(Jordan online). ...
