They are decendants of aerobic bacteria.Symbiotic living turned bacteria into mitochondria.

Mitochondria are thought to be descendants of ancient free-living bacteria that were engulfed by a host cell through endosymbiosis. Over time, the host and the endosymbiont developed a symbiotic relationship, with the host providing protection and nutrients while the endosymbiont provided energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. This symbiosis eventually led to the evolution of eukaryotic cells, including our own.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts descendants of what kind of organisms?
Prokaryotes
What are mitochondria the descendants of?
She suggested that michondria and chloroplasts are descendents of prokaryotic endosymbionts.
Mitochondria are what organelles?
A mitochondrion is itself an organelle. However, it does contain its own ribosomes. Ribosomes are regarded as organelles when they occur either free in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The theory of the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria (and chloroplasts) states that mitochondria are descendants of free-living prokaryotic cells (bacteria). Bacteria contain ribosomes, and so do mitochondria and chloroplasts.
What organism is the mitochondria in?
first mitochondria is an organism second a mitochondria can be in an animal cell
Is the mitochondria studded with ribosomes?
Mitochondria contains ribosomes in them.Those are produced by mitochondria.
Who are descendants of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
there are no descendants to them they are just formed from another cell.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts descendants of what kind of organisms?
Prokaryotes
Two organelles that are believed to be descendants of unicellular bacteria are?
mitochondria and chloroplasts
Biologist Lynn Margulis has suggested that mitochondria and chloroplast are descendants of what kind of organisms?
bacteria
What it call when the mitochondria in cells today are the descendants of aerobic prokaryotes that used oxygen to generate energy?
Endosymbiosis
What are mitochondria the descendants of?

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
