 * Here is a fill-in-the-blank to help you review endosymbiosis. Highlight to see the answer.**

Endosymbiosis is a process in which a unicellular organism gets engulfed in a host cell. The engulfed unicellular organism, which will perform specific functions for its host, is called a(n) endosymbiont. Eventually the engulfed cell will become a(n) organelle in the host cell. Mitochondria are said to originate from the engulfing of an aerobic prokaryote. Chloroplasts seem to have originated from photosynthetic cyanobacterium. There is much evidence that supports the theory of endosymbiosis. First, both mitochondria and chloroplast contain their OWN circular DNA, similar to the DNA of bacteria. Secondly, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have two membranes, one derived from the cell membrane of the engulfed prokaryote and one from the cell membrane of the host cell.
