How are animals, plants, fungi, and simple one celled organisms like Euglena related? Why do animals have so many different kinds of cells compared to plants and fungi? Why do animals get cancer? How do bacteria fit in? Chromosome Video VIII 2019.
If you find this video interesting or even compelling, please watch the earlier ones and help me find a way to fund research in this area. This is not even orphan research. It's more like research in an induced coma.
Here are some terms you may want to look up to better understand the video:
Centrosome, centriole, basal body: used in the formation of microtubules of mitotic spindles and at the base of flagella and cilia.
Microtubules, used in the mitotic spindle and attach to the centromeres of chromosomes, also associated with flagella and cilia.
Phagocytosis, literally cell eating, may involve a cytopharnyx opening in a cell using a flagellum as a means for capturing prey. Once inside, the prey is encapsulated and fused with a lysosome which is a bag of digestive enzymes.
Endosymbiont: literally an organism living within a larger organism. In the case of cells, this might be a bacterium or a larger more complex cell type.
