Through cellular evolution! The mitochondria has a genome of its own. It is extremely similar to bacterial DNA. The thought is that as cellular evolution has occurred the mitochondria may have been phagocytised creating the symbiotic relationship we see in eukaryotic cells today.

What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?
exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
Which is a method of avoiding phagocytosis?
Inducing phagocytosis.
What is the movement of particles into the cell?
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
Phagocytosis is a form of exocytosis?
No, phagocytosis is a form of endocytosis.
An amoeba engulfs food by?
Surrounding the food with pseudopod.
What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?

A defense cell engulfing a bacterium illustrates?
Phagocytosis
An organism with a cell wall would have the most difficulty doing which process?
Phagocytosis.
Where does phagocytosis happen?
Phagocytosis takes place in the blood.

Why do animal cells not have chloraplast?
Chloroplasts (as well as Mitochondria) are endosymbionts. This means that they are cells, living within another cell. Historically, eukaryotic cells had no mitochondria or chloroplasts (and mitochondria and chloroplasts existed by themselves outside of cells). The current hypothesis is that a cell tried to engulf a mitochondria (by phagocytosis) but failed in digesting it. Over time, some of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) became part of the host cell's genome. This cell is a common ancestor to both plants and animals, which is why both have mitochondria. A cell with mitochondria then did the same thing with chloroplasts, absorbing one, and taking some of its ctDNA etc. Because not all cells that had mitochondria absorbed chloroplasts there were cells with mitochondria only, and cells with mitochondria and chloroplasts. The ones with chloroplasts evolved to become plant cells, and those without evolved to become animal cells.
What are the benefits and drawbacks of phagocytosis?
The main benefit of phagocytosis is that it is a natural defense against bacterial infection. Drawbacks are that you can get coiling phagocytosis and it could destroy good bacteria.
What is another name for cell eating?
The word that means the same thing as cell eating is phagocytosis. The outcome is the ingestion of particulate matter, such as bacteria, from the extracellular fluid.
What is the name of the process where a white blood cell engulfs a pathogen?
The process by which white blood cells engulf bacteria is termed phagocytosis. In some organisms, phagocytosis is how food is absorbed.
