Question
Chapter 3.5, Problem 13A
Summary Introduction
To determine:
According to the endosymbiotic theory, mitochondria arose as a result of endocytosis of aerobic bacteria, and chloroplasts arose as a result of endocytosis of photosynthetic bacteria, and the subsequent infoldings of membranes lead to the origin of other internal membranes. These different bacteria evolved to a point where they developed a symbiotic relationship with one another and then evolved into eukaryotic cells. Thus, the endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of mitochondria, chloroplasts and other internal membranes of a eukaryotic cell.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?
Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
