Summary Introduction

Introduction:

When one creature lives in the body of other organism and has mutual beneficial relation, then this interaction is known as endosymbiosis. In secondary endosymbiosis, the plastid lives in the prokaryotes and in primary endosymbiosis; the plastids are present in eukaryotes.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The concept of endosymbiosis as applied to chloroplast and mitochondria found in eukaryotes: a) is based on evidence that Chloroplasts and Mitochondria were originally prokaryotes, b) changes present day animals into plants, c)  explains how chemical evolution caused the appearance of life, d) allowed chloroplasts to carry out aerobic metabolism, e) all are true.
Select the statement that does NOT support the origin of excavates that lack plastids, have highly reduced mitochondria and are parasites:   A. These parasites typically live in low-oxygen conditions and therefore loss of genes for plastids and mitochondria did not result in lower fitness       B. The original, eukaryotic ancestors of these parasites did not engulf prokaryotes   C. These parasites typically live in low-oxygen conditions, and many of their mitochondrial genes move to the nucleus
The endosymbiotic theory explains the:a. origin of the first prokaryotic cells.b. origins of mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotes.c. evolutionary relationship between animals, plants, and fungi.d. method of reproduction in protists.
