Question

keikos teacher was discussing the theory of endosymbiosis. she asked keiko to mark the organelles in the diagram that most closely resembled prokaryotes. which organelles should keikio mark?

Answer 1

mitochondria and chloroplasts

Answer 2

Eukaryotic cells are theorized to have evolved from prokaryotes called the endosymbiotic theory. This explains that the most primitive eukaryotic cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell (by the process of phagocytosis) that is capable of cellular respiration and another prokaryotic cell that is capable of photosynthesis. These prokaryotic cells eventually became organelles and these organelles are the mitochondria and the chloroplast.
