Drag and drop the words or phrases that accurately complete the paragraph.
The Theory of Endosymbiosis explains the origin of the first
cells. Ancient prokaryotes engulfed aerobic bacteria, perhaps as prey, followed by cyanobacteria. A symbiotic relationship between the two bacteria followed as the products of the cyanobacteria, now
were the reactants of the aerobic bacterium, now mitochondria. Therefore, once inside,
occurred, as both benefited. Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and prokaryotes share some unique characteristics such as circular DNA,
ribosomes, self-replication, and a double membrane.

The Theory of Endosymbiosis explains the origin of the first **eukaryotic** cells. Ancient prokaryotes engulfed aerobic bacteria, perhaps as prey, followed by cyanobacteria. A symbiotic relationship between the two bacteria followed as the products of the cyanobacteria, now **chloroplasts**, were the reactants of the aerobic bacterium, now mitochondria. Therefore, once inside, **endosymbiosis** occurred, as both benefited. Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and prokaryotes share some unique characteristics such as circular DNA, **70S** ribosomes, self-replication, and a double membrane.
