Answer:

According to the theory of <em>endosymbiosis</em> , mitochondria in cells today are the descendants of aerobic prokaryotes that used oxygen to generate energy.

Explanation:

Endosymbiosis is an evolutionary theory which explains how eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells. The theory of endosymbiosis states that mitochondria were once prokaryotes. They could carry out aerobic respiration and used oxygen to produce energy. With the passage of time, the bigger prokaryotes engulfed the smaller prokaryotes like the mitochondria. Mitochondria have their own DNA which proofs the hypothesis that they were once individual prokaryotic cells. Organelles like mitochondria, chloroplast and plastids support the theory of endosymbiosis.

Which two examples show adaptations for plants growing in the desert?
aleksklad [387]

there is no clear evidence about plants evolving in the desert, or fossils of any kind of cactus despite their distribution over a large area. But, scientists are of the opinion that they acquired specific attributes millions of years ago, as a response to the vastly changing climate and conditions.

-Desert plant root system

A typical desert plant has a deep root system, which is a specific physical mechanism. As the roots grow deep down the soil, they absorb soil water, which is then transported to the upper portions of the plant.

-Desert plant leaves

Bear small foliage with waxy surface to minimize transpiration (loss of water through stomatal pores), which in turn, helps to conserve water.
