Explain why early eukaryotes were able to grow more quickly than cells that did not possess mitochondria.

The endosymbiosis theory suggests that mitochondria may have evolved from bacteria that were takes inside other cells.

These cells then evolved into eukaryotes.

Give two structural features of mitochondria that support this theory

1-The extrinsic pathway in apoptosis is mediated by , while the intrinsic pathway is mediated by injury.

2- Caspases is a family of intracellular proteases dependent on              (which amino acid) that play a pivotal role in the apoptosis.

Can you simplely describe the functions of apoptosis in our body?
