Question

What is the Endosymbiotic theory?
How do organelles especially Chloroplast and mitochondria formed?
Please discuss the formation of mitochondria. What process is involved in the symbiotic evolution of this organelle?

Answer 1

The endosymbiosis theory explains how eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells. Symbiosis is a close relationship between two different organisms. ... Later, a host cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell capable of photosynthesis. This is where the chloroplast and other plastids originated.

Eukaryotic cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic bacteria, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles

Answer 2

Answer:

Mitochondria are the "powerhouses" of the cell, breaking down fuel molecules and capturing energy in cellular respiration.

Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They're responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely began as bacteria that were engulfed by larger cells (the endosymbiont theory).
