Figure 27.12 Pyruvate and O2 ATP THE ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY Reduced carbon compounds Electron transport High ATP yield + O2 chain Fermentation Reduced carbon compounds Low ATP yield Aerobic bacterium Anaerobic eukaryote 1. Eukaryotic cell surrounds and engulfs bacterium. 2. Bacterium lives within eukaryote cell. 3. Eukaryote supplies bacterium with reduced carbon compounds. Bacterium supplies eukaryote with ATP.
The first animals (metazoans) • They did not appear until about 600 million years ago • But they rapidly radiated - the Cambrian explosion
