Organic and Chemical Evolution

The theory of evolution suggests that earth’s first oxygen came from

• plants

• aerobic prokaryotes

• chemical decomposition

• photosynthetic prokaryotes

One hypothesis of the endosymbiotic theory suggests that prokaryotes capable of photosynthesis crawled into larger cells and became

• mitochondria

• nuclei

• vesicles
