Summary Introduction

To explain:

The origination of mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells.

Introduction:

The prokaryotic cells lack cell organelles, such as chloroplasts and mitochondria, whereas, the eukaryotic cells possess both organelles. The mitochondria are the cellular organelles that provide the cellular energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The chloroplasts are the cellular organelles present in the plant and algal cells that help in the synthesis of the food using sunlight.
