What two organelles have their own DNA?

A

mitochondria and chloroplast

18
Q

What are the 3 key differences between plant and animal cells?

A

Plants have cell walls, chloroplast, and central vacuole

19
Q

What is the endosymbiont Theory?

A

Origin story of chloroplast and mitochondria; comes from bacteria that de-evolved that became useful to the cell. reason why it is independent from cell

20
Q

What are viruses and what are they made of?

A

Biological agent that reproduces inside of living cells, made up of nucleic acid (dna or rna) and surrounded by protein coat
