This question isn't optimally phrased. "Why" denotes a purpose, and the mitochondria became what it is today through evolution, a process that has no internal purpose, drive, or intellectual intent. That is to say, the symbiotic relationship did not evolve through negotiations between the two organisms.
Endosymbiosis occurred because the relationship between the two prokaryotes was beneficial to both. Through coevolution, the two became inseparable and existence as individuals was no longer possible.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is the mitochondria located in animal cells?
Yes, mitochondria exist in animal cells.
Why mitochonria have their own DNA?
Mitochondria is suspected to have been a unicellular organism that invaded cells. All cells have DNA. The mitochondria then stayed in the cells which explains why there are mitochondria in cells now.
Are mitochondria associated with bacterial cells?
No, mitochondria are only present in eukaryotic cells. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells.
Do palnt cells have mitochondria?
Absolutely. All multi-cellular organisms cells have Mitochondria.
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 it call when the mitochondria in cells today are the descendants of aerobic prokaryotes that used oxygen to generate energy?
This phenomenon is known as endosymbiosis, specifically referring to the theory that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from free-living aerobic prokaryotes that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells and established a symbiotic relationship.
Is the mitochondria located in animal cells?
Yes, mitochondria exist in animal cells.
What have in mitochondria?
Eukariyotic cells have Mitochondria.But extreamely specialized cells lack Mitochondria.
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
Why mitochonria have their own DNA?

Are mitochondria associated with bacterial cells?
No, mitochondria are only present in eukaryotic cells. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells.
Do plants cells conain mitochondria?
Of course plant cells mitochondria. They are essential for respiration.
Is mitochondria contained in animals?
Yes, bithe plant cells and animal cells have mitochondria. :)
Do palnt cells have mitochondria?
Absolutely. All multi-cellular organisms cells have Mitochondria.
Which type of cells have the highest concentration of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have the highest concentration of mitochondria.
