Which type of cell might have been the first one to evolve and explain why this may have been the first.
The hypothesis that eukaryotic cells evolved from a symbiotic<span> association of prokaryotes—endosymbiosis—is particularly well supported by studies of mitochondria and chloroplasts, which are thought to have evolved from bacteria living in large cells.</span>
Compare and contrast eukaryotic cells with prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example ofprokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
