I was waiting to get some choices to choose the correct answer. I am trying to answer this question from research and hope that it helps you. According to the endosymbiotic hypothesis, the large cells did not destroy the small aerobic cells they engulfed because they were a source of energy. These small aerobic cells were beneficial.
Answer;
-Because they provide energy.
-According to the endosymbiotic hypothesis, why did large cells not destroy the small aerobic cells they engulfed because they provide energy.
Explanation;
-The endosymbiotic hypothesis explains the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts, two organelles contained within various eukaryotic cells. According to the hypothesis mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from prokaryotes living within prokaryotes.
-The theory suggests that eukaryotes were formed from the union of small aerobic prokaryotes with larger anaerobic prokaryotes. The smaller prokaryotes were not destroyed by the larger cells but instead they became internal parasites that remained surrounded by a vesicular membrane of the host.
