A
Mitochondria (all eukaryotic cells) and Chloroplasts (plant cells) have their own DNA
2
Q
What are the sizes of the organelles in the endosymboint theory?
A
These organelles are roughly the same size as bacteria

Where is the endosymboint theory derived from?
A
Derived from Endosymbiosis of early Prokaryotic cells, which internalised another
cell and survived within it
4
Q
What is the description of chloroplasts and mitochondria relating to the endosymboint theory?
A

5
Q
Does the endosymboint theory suggest anything to do with energy?
