Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own genetic informations, which is one of the reasons why people believe that mitochondria and chloroplasts have originated as a bacteria that started mutualism with an early eukaryote. This relationship is known as the endosymbiotic theory.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.
What is the evidence for the endosymbiosis hypothesis?
Evidence for the endosymbiosis hypothesis includes similarities between mitochondria/chloroplasts and bacteria (such as DNA structure and ribosomes), the ability of mitochondria/chloroplasts to replicate independently within cells, and historical precedence in the evolution of eukaryotic organisms. Additionally, the presence of a double membrane in mitochondria and chloroplasts supports the idea that these organelles were once free-living bacteria that were engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell.
How did mitochondria and chloroplasts most likely arise in eukaryotic cells?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts most likely arose in eukaryotic cells through a process called endosymbiosis, where a host cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell. Over time, the prokaryotic cell evolved to become an organelle within the host cell, forming a symbiotic relationship. This theory is supported by the similarities between mitochondria and chloroplasts and modern-day bacteria.
What organelles that have a double membrane?
Nucleus Mitochondria
Why do Biologists suspect endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria before plastids?
Biologists suspect that mitochondria arose before plastids through endosymbiosis because mitochondria are present in almost all eukaryotic cells, while plastids are only found in photosynthetic eukaryotes. Additionally, mitochondria share more structural and functional similarities with their bacterial ancestors than plastids do.
Why are mitochondria and chloroplasts differ?
They have different functions. But they have similarities
What characteristics do mitochondria and chloroplasts. share?
They are both part of the endomembrane system
What organ share the same job with the mitochondria in the human body?
The chloroplasts in plant cells share a similar role to the mitochondria in that they both function as the powerhouse of the cell by producing energy through cellular respiration (for mitochondria) and photosynthesis (for chloroplasts).
What are the similarities of Eukaryote-Animal cell and the organelles mitochondria and chloroplasts?
I am pretty sure all those are in animal cells.
Do mitochondria and choloroplast independently?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have evolved independently. While they share some similarities, such as their own DNA and ability to generate energy in the form of ATP, their origin and function differ. Mitochondria likely originated from ancient bacteria that were engulfed by primitive eukaryotic cells, while chloroplasts are believed to have evolved from photosynthetic cyanobacteria that were also engulfed by eukaryotic cells.
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.
Does animal cells have mitochondria?
Plants and animals share many similarities and differences in the cells they have. Both plants and animals have mitochondria cells present.
What is similar about chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Both chloroplasts and mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are involved in energy production processes - chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis to produce energy from sunlight, while mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration to produce energy from glucose. Both organelles also have their own DNA and ribosomes, suggesting they may have evolutionary origins from symbiotic bacteria.
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.
Do mitochondria contain green pigment?
No they do not. They are in chloroplasts.
