The endosymbiotic theory is a theory that explains how very simple single celled prokaryotes that lacked a nucleus (control center), membrane bounded organelles, and mitochondria evolved into more complex cells called eukaryotes. Eukaryotes, unlike prokaryotes, contain a nucleus that stores genetic information, membrane bounded organelles, and mitochondria that allow the cell to perform cellular respiration (the use of oxygen to break down sugar and release energy). An endosymbiont is defined as
that are essential to the ecosystem (Wernergreen). One organism living within another defines endosymbiosis. Nobody can say the exact origin of the eukaryote cell. The endosymbiosis theory dates back to the earliest 20th century and devotion to different models of its origins is strong and adamant (O’Malley). This theory was developed from the combined efforts of many different researchers. Together, Konstantin Mereschkowsky, Boris Mikhaylovich Kozo-Polyansky, Ivan Wallin, and Lynn Margulis are the
the more complex.' However one popular theory that argues that Prokaryotic symbiosis was responsible for forming the Eukaryotic nucleus is the 'Endosymbiotic Theory' this theory was first proposed by a former Boston University Biologist known as Lynn Margulis in the 1960's. Although the theory was ridiculed by a number of mainstream biologists, it now serves as a plausible and acceptable theory and explanation to the evolution of Eukaryotes. The theory states that the ancestors of eukaryotic
Cells and Cell Theory What advantages does small size give to a cell? Many cellular processes occur by diffusion, which is efficient over short distances, but less efficient over long distances. Since all materials going in and out of a cell must pass through the plasma membrane, the greater the surface area of this membrane, the faster a given quantity of molecules can pass through. Smaller cells have a much greater surface-to-volume ratio than larger cells and therefore can "feed" all areas of

In his paper Desire and the Human Good, Richard Kraut argues that the typical defense for pluralism, Desire Satisfaction Theory, is too weak; subsequently Kraut offers his own alternative. In this paper I will explain Desire Satisfaction Theory as Kraut opposes it, defend the objections made by Kraut against Desire Satisfaction Theory, and evaluate his alternative theory. In ancient greek philosophies such as platonic, aristotelian, stoic and epicurean, as well as in medieval christian philosophies
choose facts which will fit what we think is the “truth”. Therefore in the field of history, the knowledges always change. However in history knowledge is only “sometimes” discarded since the new theories might be built on old theories, which is done by making it better which then becomes the new theory. As for science when something is proven it is most probably right since tests have to be done. Works Cited http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Revisionist+historian http://discovery
University to study philosophy and sociology. Upon completing his Masters, Mead taught at the University of Michigan and later Chicago. Mead was a naturalist and consequently Darwin had a strong influence on many of his researches. Mead is renowned for his theory of development of self and his concept of “I” and “Me.” The character Genie, in the film Genie: Secrets of a Wild Child, exhibits and validates Meads concept of self and the development of self. The film Genie: Secrets of a Wild Child is about a girl
for the client’s benefit. It also is important to understand that culture and environment play a role in the treatment of a client and how theories can positively or negatively impact this treatment. Therapists need to understand how to work within the context of a theory while being able to understand the individual in their own environment. Although theories are put into place to serve as a framework, there are also alternative ways to approach counseling, one example being evidence-based practice
usually by consensual power and sometimes by force. (Holmes, Hughes &Julian, 2007) There have been a number of differing views on ‘power over’ the many years in which it has been studied. Theorist such as Anthony Gidden in his works on structuration theory attempts to integrate basic structural analyses and agency-centred traditions. According to this, people are free to act, but they must also use and replicate fundamental structures of power by and through their own actions. Power is wielded and maintained
it was difficult to make a final decision of which one to choose because each one had ideas that I agree with. When reading these theories I realize that many of them had views that I agree or believe by, which made it more difficult to choose one in specific. At first, person-centered by Carl Rogers captivated my attention by his view and the way he develop the theory. He believed that no one was born to be devious towards others and I agree with him (Rogers, 1961). I believe no one is born with

context of this essay might not really mean erased, however; it might mean that it is no longer useful. It is no longer useful because "some" are completely discarded because of new theories. The implication is that knowledge claims are "replaced" or "evolved", as old theories are constantly being evolved by new theories. Peter Ducker states, “Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.” Another key word: Accepted. Knowledge has to be approved by someone in order
is going to discuss different theories on working in groups, Theories that will help you to become a good team member within a youth work setting. Also we will apply it to your role as a youth practitioner. There are two theorist who are called Tuckman and Belbin. We will be including what their beliefs and views are on becoming a successful team member and how you can developing team work skills by using a developing stage model. We will be comparing both theories and picking out their weaknesses
This study is focus on the 11th Unnamed Cave in Tennessee. This cave was the first of its kind because this cave is the only one that was found to contain pictograph, petroglyph, and mud glyph all in one site. The article explain that the site is significant because there are evidence to showed that the site underwent a series of diverse but interrelated uses. The first out of all the cave sites to contain all three different form of rock art. Also, because the site was found in the eighteenth century
Carl G. Hempel was of the most influential proponents of what is now regarded as the classic view of explanation in science. In his work, Philosophy of Natural Science, he created the deductive-nomological model which is the following account of scientific explanation, where an explanation is set out as a formalized argument. This is the principle format for works such as Aristotle’s Physica, Ptolemy’s Almagest, Newton’s Principia and Opticks, Franklin’s Electricity, Lavoisie’s Chemistry, and Lyell’s
Subculture Theory many theorists were interested in explaining delinquent gangs, which were believed to be the most common form of delinquency. The Subculture Theory was made up of several different theories that were all related to each other. Subculture theories provided explanations of how groups of individuals develop similar values and rationales for behavior (Williams & McKay, 2014). One theory within Subculture Theory was called the delinquent subculture theory by Albert Cohen. Another theory in the

(Tweed) Tweed’s perspective could be understood as “pragmatic or nonrepresentational realism or to use the philosopher Hilary Putnam’s phrase, “realism with a small r-as opposed to metaphysical Realism,” which champions a view from nowhere and aspires to link concepts with mind-independent realities.” (Tweed) He also views “theories as embodied travels” and sightings which he believes are “positioned representations
reasoning lead them to come up with these theories. With the help of knowledge that we gain from these subject areas, we are able to apply them in our daily lives. I being a Mathematics Higher level and Physics Standard level student, I come across so many theories made by various scientist and mathematicians. With the help of their formulas I am able to do my experiments and other internal assessments. I often question myself of how do they come with these theories? Another question arises in our minds
