Study Notes
Key Concepts in Biology
-
LUCA: Stands for Last Universal Common Ancestor, representing the earliest form of life from which all organisms descend.
-
Endosymbiotic Theory: Proposed by Lynn Margulis, this theory explains how eukaryotic cells evolved through a symbiotic relationship between early eukaryotic ancestors and certain prokaryotes.
-
Bacteria as Organelles: Proposes that certain bacteria were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells and subsequently evolved into organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, essential for cellular function.
-
Viral Particle Composition: Made up of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encapsulated in a protein coat, known as a capsid. This structure enables viruses to infect host cells.
-
Phage Definition: A phage is a type of virus that specifically infects bacteria, playing a significant role in microbial ecology and gene transfer.
