# Eukarya
- There are two parts to the origin of eukaryotic cells:
- [[Endosymbiosis]]: Theorized by [[Lynn Margulis]], proposes that
mitochondria, along with other eukaryotic organelles, first existed as
independent organisms
- [[Endomembrane System]]: Documented by [[Christian de Duve]], the
endomembrane system involves parts of organelles specific to eukaryotic
organelles, such as the nuclear envelope
- In eukaryotes, [[mitochondria]] have separate DNA from the nuclear genome,
which is evidence for [[Endosymbiosis]]

# The Great Oxygenation
- The diverity of [[bacteria]] exploded during the [[Archaean]], leading to the
evolution of [[Cyanobacteria]]
- This does not mean that [[Spirulina]] existed during the [[Archaean]]: it
is a modern organism
- There was almost no O₂ in the atmosphere before the
[[Archaean]]-[[Proterozoic]] break
- No O₂ means no formation of peroxides
- Peroxides are dangerous to many cells as they rob electrons from
proteins, fatally altering them
- Cells had to develop anti-oxidation defenses, including [[catalase]]
- Cells had two ways to adapt to O₂
1. Become a strict anaerobe, and avoid oxygen-containing habitats
2. Tolerate O₂
- O₂ toleration can easily lead to aerobic metabolism
