this question asks. True or false, since 80 p is generated in chloroplasts, cells capable of undergoing photo senses do not require mitochondria and explain. And also let's name and describe the idea that explains how mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have originated in eukaryotic cells. So for the first part, is that statement going to be true or false? Well, the answer is false, and that is because the energy are the 80 p generated in photo senses will be used up in order to create sugar on. Basically, what we find is that the photo synthetic pathway will actually use up all the 80 Pete and actually might require even on input of energy in the form of a teepee in order for it to run. But of course, we know that photo census relies on, uh, light energy, of course, but a little bit of 80 p is not safe to get it going, and the net total would definitely be zero or even less so. This is obviously going to be false, the ah photosynthetic pathway. So let's see. Photo Census will require an input of 80 p for glucose to be generated and as far as the idea that explains how mighty confident court plaster thoughts have originated. Well, that has to do with the Endo symbiont hypothesis, basically with the Endo's in by on Hypothesis Sciences believe that there was a pro carrier that was capable of 80 p generation, or sugar production, that was engulfed by a eukaryotic cell through Fattah psychosis, and thus it produced the double membrane organelles that we see to this day. And this pro cario and you carry out were able to form a symbiotic relationship that the, uh, pro carrier would actually lose its independence over time and be kind of taken in as an organ up. But in either case, we could just classify this as a symbiotic relationship between a pro carry out and you care ute that resulted in the pro carry out kind of giving up all its rights and becoming an organ l for that cell
