How does the endosymbiont theory intertwine with photosynthesis?

ingestion of a cyanobacterium which remained intact and evolved into a chloroplast. Cyanobacteria evolved oxygenic photosynthesis.

Explanation: The eucaryote cell presents this picture.

An archaean cell ingested an aerobic bacterium which remained intact and the two co-evolved into cell plus mitochondria. A cell like this ingested a cyanobacterium which remained intact and evolved into a chloroplast. It is still unclear how the eucaryote nucleus, multiple chromosomes and membrane bound organelles, e.g. Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum evolved.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
