The endosymbiotic theory stated that the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells are actually prokaryotic bacteria which were once engulfed by prehistoric eukaryotic cells as a result of evolution.

 

Therefore to answer this question, here are some characteristics: 
1 Both mitochondria and prokaryotic cells contain their own DNA.

2 Neither of the two have true nuclei, but they do have a space in which their DNA is enclosed. 
3 Mitochondria and prokaryotic cells have similar transcriptional machinery, which means that they have the same process of making RNA from DNA.

<span>4 Mitochondria contain their own genome, and the formation of their genome in most organisms is circular similar to prokaryotes.</span>

The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine during sympathetic stimulation. Why epinephrine would increase the sympathetic response
user100 [1]

Answer: Because epinephrine activates the fight or flight response, related to the sympathethic response in the body.

Explanation:

The function of the Autonomic Nervous System is the regulation of the system cardiovascular, digestion, respiration, body temperature, metabolism, exocrine glands, and therefore keep the internal environment constant (homeostasis). While sympathetic activity increases in stress, the activity parasympathetic predominates during rest and satiety. The adrenal medulla originates from the neural crest and is composed of neuroendocrine specialized cells and are responsible for the production of catecholamines.

Catecholamines are dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine). Epinephrine prepares muscles, lungs, and heart for more intense activity, in situations of stress. It promotes the increase in the force of contraction in the muscles and increases in the heart rate. It also leads to increased blood pressure and bronchodilation, for greater availability of O2.
