Chapter 27, Problem 9TYPSS
Summary Introduction
To review:
The connection between the three observations for reviewing connections between them:
Recent research has shown that apicoplasts (unusual organelle present in Plasmodium) are derived from chloroplasts via secondary endosymbiosis and have a large number of genes related to chloroplast DNA.
Glyphosate is a herbicide works by poisoning an enzyme located in chloroplasts.
Researcher biologists are testing the hypothesis that glyphosate could be used as an antimalarial drug in humans.
Introduction:
The Plasmodium is responsible for causing malaria in humans. The apicoplast of Plasmodium is derived from chloroplast via secondary endosymbiosis. The wide range of chloroplast genes is present in the apicoplast of Plasmodium.

Scientists explain the existence of mitochondria and chloroplasts with the endosymbiotic hypothesis. What is the endosymbiotic hypothesis? Give two pieces of evidence for it.
Identify:
1. A part of the chloroplast in the green algae important in carbon dioxide fixation and for production and concentration of starch.
2. Subgroup of Kingdom Viridiplantae with cytokinesis marked by phragmoplast formation.
3. Subgroup of Kingdom Viridiplantae with centrioles and closed mitosis.
4. Chloroplast morphology of the Chlamydomonas.
5. The characteristic life cycle of Chlamydomonas.
6. Sexual reproduction in Chlamydomonas characterized by the fusion of morphologically similar gametes.
7. Sexual reproduction in Volvox characterized by the fusion of a large, immotile female gametes with small, motile male gametes.

Under a microscope, you probably noticed that all of the onions cells were roughly the same shape whereas the squamous cells from your buccal cavity, while roundish, may have been folded or bent. What do you think keeps all of the plant cells the same shape? A) Vaucole B) Cell membrane C) Chloroplasts D) Cell wall 2. When stained with methylene blue (buccal cell) and haemalum acid (onion cell), the nuclei were the only cellular structures that stained.

If there are Paramecia in your field of view you probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even "escape" the coverslip at its edges. The trick to slowing the Paramecia is to mix a drop of methyl cellulose with a drop of the cell culture, as…arrow_forwardSome non-plant organisms like the protist that spreads malaria contain a non-photosynthetic chloroplast called an apicoplast.
