Summary Introduction

To determine:

The endosymbiotic theory.

Introduction:

The prokaryotic cells lack cell organelles, such as chloroplasts and mitochondria, whereas, the eukaryotic cells possess both organelles. The mitochondria are the cellular organelles that provide cellular energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The chloroplasts are the cellular organelles present in plants and algal cells that help in the synthesis of food using sunlight.
