- According to bio.libretexts.org, the Endosymbiotic Theory states that, "some of the organelles in today's eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes". But what exactly does this mean?
- To simplify this, the Endosymbiotic Theory is a Theory that cells once confined to only certain things are now used in everything do to parts of the cells slowly deteriorating over time.
- A piece of evidence according to mvorganizing.com to support this theory is "mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA, prokaryote fashion, and can still replicate, transcribe and translate some proteins"
- To put the evidence into more simple terms, the mitochondria and chloroplast in eukaryotic cells were once aerobic bacteria (prokaryote) that were ingested by a large anaerobic bacteria (prokaryote).
- This evidence supports the Endosymbiotic Theory because it explains how prokaryote cells in anerobia bacteria became the mitochondria and chloroplast in eukaryotic cells.
- I hope that you had a very informative time learning about the Endosymbiotic Theory and you can now explain it when other people ask!
