To determine:
The evidences that supports the endosymbiotic theory.
Introduction:
The mitochondria are the cellular organelles that provide the “cellular energy”. The chloroplasts are the cellular organelles present in the plant and algal cells that help in the photosynthesis of the food.
</SUMMARY-INTRODUCTION>
The
Similarities between the prokaryote, mitochondria and chloroplast:
- Both the bacteria and organelles (mitochondria and chloroplast) have their own cell membranes.
- Both the bacteria and organelles (mitochondria and chloroplast) have small circular DNA.
- Both the mitochondria and bacteria reproduce through binary fission.
The evidence to support endosymbiotic theory and features that does not support the theory is discussed.
