New page

The term '''endosymbiotic theory''' is used to refer to any theory that a particular [[organelle]] or other substructure in a cell is evolutionarily descended from a living organism (specifically, a [[prokaryotic cell|prokaryote]]) that lived as an [[endosymbiont]] inside the cell.

There are endosymbiotic theories associated with the following organelles:

{| class="sortable" border="1"
! Organelle !! Endosymbiotic theory
|-
| [[mitochondrion]] || [[endosymbiotic theory of mitochondrial origin]]
|-
| [[plastid]] || [[endosymbiotic theory of plastid origin]]
|}
