Explaine Endosymbiotic theory
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts originate from prokaryotic cells, this explains their 70S ribosomes and their own DNA. They were paracytic in nature joining the anerobic prokaryotic cell. The anerobic cell grew dependent on their aerobic respiraton ATP. Poof! a Eukaryotic cell is born and the angels sang!
