Answer:
The correct answer is "All of the answer choices are possible explanations".
Explanation:
The evolutionary origin of cell organelles propose that a some point in history, a symbiotic relationship between prokaryotic cells and the ancestor of eukaryotes occurred. Basically, in this symbiotic relationship, the ancestor of the eukaryotic host cell took up a prokaryote that was not destroyed. There are different theories regarding the origin of the different organelles, including:
- Invagination of the plasma membrane to form endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum has a tubular networks of membranes that were invaginated.
- Incorporation of engulfed heterotrophic bacteria to form mitochondria. Mitochondria allows for cell's respiration, it is likely that this organelle originated from engulfed heterotrophic bacteria.
- Incorporation of engulfed autotrophic cyanobacteria to form chloroplasts. Chloroplasts allows for cell's photosynthesis, it is likely that this organelle originated from engulfed autotrophic cyanobacteria.
