What is Endosymbiotic Theory Explained about?
The endosymbiotic theory suggests that eukaryotic cells originated from prokaryotic microbes that formed symbiotic relationships with amoeba-like cells. This theory posits that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once independent bacteria that were ingested by these early cells and became integral organelles. Over time, these organelles lost their cell walls and much of their DNA, becoming dependent on their host cells for survival.
