Mitochondria and chloroplasts descendants of what kind of organisms?
Prokaryotes
Two organelles that are believed to be descendants of unicellular bacteria are?
Two organelles that are believed to be descendants of unicellular bacteria are mitochondria and chloroplasts. The endosymbiotic theory suggests that these organelles were once free-living bacteria that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells and formed a symbiotic relationship.
What are mitochondria the descendants of?
Mitochondria are thought to be descendants of ancient bacteria that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells through a process called endosymbiosis. Over time, this symbiotic relationship evolved into the mitochondria we see in cells today.
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.
What parts of a cell do scientists think were once free-living organisms?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have once been a free prokaryotic cell.
What are factw about mitochondria and chloroplasts constitution support for the endosymbiont theorym?
There are three characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplasts that support this theory. First, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have two membranes surrounding them. Second, like prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes, as well as a circular DNA molecules attached to their inner membranes. Third, mitochondria and chloroplasts are autonomous.
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.
What organelles that have a double membrane?
Nucleus Mitochondria
Do mitochondria contain green pigment?
No they do not. They are in chloroplasts.
What do mitochondria and chloroplasts do for a cell?
mitochondria provide power for cells chloroplasts provide food for cells by photosynthesis
What organelles are involved in energy transformation in the cells?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are involved in energy tranformation. animal cells: mitochondria plant cells: mitochondria and chloroplasts
Which organelle came first, mitochondria or chloroplasts?
Mitochondria came first before chloroplasts in the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
