The endosymbiotic theory explains how eukaryotic cells evolved from ancient prokaryotic cells. The diagram summarizes the steps of the process that the theory describes.

Ancient aerobic bacteria entered an anaerobic prokaryote to become mitochondria. These primitive eukaryotes developed into animals and fungi. Some of them took in photosynthetic bacteria, which became chloroplasts. These cells gave rise to plants.

Classify the statements according to whether or not they provide evidence in support of the theory.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria replicate separately from the rest of the cell. Like other organelles, mitochondria and chloroplasts cannot function when they are removed from cells. All multicellular organisms are eukaryotic. Some eukaryotic cells today contain bacteria or algae living inside them. Supports endosymbiont theory
