Endosymbiotic Theory | Symbiogenesis, or endosymbiotic theory, is an evolutionary theory that explains the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotes;, Mitochondria from chloroplasts;, It states that several key organelles of eukaryotes originated as a symbiosis between separate single-celled organisms. |

Evidence: | Mitochondria have 2 membranes;, have own DNA;, have own ribosomes;, have own tRNA molecules;, have own RNA polymerace;, have own DNA polymer ace;, at one time were free, living cells |
symbioses | two organisms together |
endosymbiotic | inside one another |
Mitochondria | bigger cell captures smaller cell, which now has two membranes; smaller cell gets ATP from big cell |
actions | - the primitive heterotrophic eukaryote is entered by proteobacterium and avoids digestion., - becomes endosymbiant; cell within another, - smaller cell gets ATP from bigger cell, - proteobacterium is eventually assimilated and becomes a mitochondria, - some eukaryotes go to acquire additional endosymbiants and and the cyanobacteria become chloroplasts |
