| D. | Glyoxysomes |
| Answer» A. Mitochondria | |
|
Explanation: Mitochondria are semi- autonomous organelles that likely began as freestanding prokaryotes that invaded eukaryotic cells more than a billion years ago. A symbiotic relationship eventually developed between these prokaryotic cells and their eukaryotic hosts. The former prokaryotes lost the capacity for independent existence but became indispensible to the eukaryotic cells. |
