Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have arisen from bacteria, engulfed by primitive cells in a process called endosymbiosis. Mitochondria probably evolved when cells took up aerobic bacteria, while chloroplasts were derived from photosynthetic bacteria, such as cyanobacteria.his process of replication is called binary fission and also occurs in bacteria. Replication by mitochondria and chloroplasts is independent of the host cell's replication cycle. Plant and animal cells replicate by a complex process called mitosis or meiosis.
The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. The word mitochondrion comes from the Greek Î¼Î¯ÏÎ¿Ï, mitos, i.e. thread, and ÏÎ¿Î½Î´ÏÎ¯Î¿Î½, chondrion, i.e. granule or grain-like.Mitochondria range from 0.5 to 1.0 Î¼m in diameter.n humans, 615 distinct types of protein have been identified from cardiac mitochondria, whereas in rats, 940 proteins have been reported. The mitochondrial proteome is thought to be dynamically regulated. Although most of a cell's DNA is contained in the cell nucleus, the mitochondrion has its own independent genome.
