Topic 2.10: Origins of Cell Compartmentalization
Learning Objective: 2.10.A
Describe similarities and/or differences in compartmentalization between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Essential Knowledge: 2.10.A.1
Membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from once free-living prokaryotic cells via endosymbiosis.
Essential Knowledge: 2.10.A.2
Prokaryotes typically lack internal membrane-bound organelles but have internal regions with specialized structures and functions.
Essential Knowledge: 2.10.A.3
Eukaryotic cells maintain internal membranes that partition the cell into specialized regions.
