Hydrolytic enzymes must be segregated and packaged to prevent general destruction of cellular components. In animal cells, which of the following organelles contains these hydrolytic enzymes?

• central vacuole

• peroxisome

• lysosome

• chloroplast

The Endosymbiotic Theory suggests that eukaryotic cells evolved when an ancient cell engulfed another, forming a permanent symbiotic relationship. Choose the evidence that best justifies this claim.

• Both mitochondria and chloroplasts perform energy functions

• Eukaryotic cells have many mitochondria

• Eukaryotic cells have traits in common with archaea

• Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain circular loops of unique DNA
