The Endosymbiotic Theory is the widely accepted explanation for the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts. The theory posits that these organelles were once free-living, independent prokaryotes (specifically, an aerobic proteobacterium for mitochondria and a cyanobacterium for chloroplasts) that were engulfed by a larger ancestral cell. Instead of being digested, the engulfed cell formed a permanent, mutually beneficial relationship with its host. Molecular evidence strongly supports this history. Crucially, the genes responsible for producing many essential organelle proteins have been transferred to the host cell’s nucleus over evolutionary time—a process called Endosymbiotic Gene Transfer (EGT). This transfer has made the organelles genetically dependent on the host cell. Despite this dependency, the organelles retain several traits of their prokaryotic ancestors, including their own, heavily reduced genomes and a distinct type of protein-synthesizing machinery (ribosomes). The chart below compares several key molecular features across three entities: a typical free-living bacterium, a eukaryotic host cell, and a eukaryotic organelle (Mitochondrion or Chloroplast).

Maria is testing three mystery substances (A, B, and C) to identify which one is baking soda. She knows the following facts:Given Information:Only baking soda fizzes when mixed with vinegarOnly substances that conduct electricity will light up a simple circuit bulbSalt water conducts electricityPure water does not conduct electricityTest Results:Substance A: Fizzes with vinegar, does not light up the bulbSubstance B: Does not fizz with vinegar, lights up the bulbSubstance C: Does not fizz with vinegar, does not light up the bulbQuestion: What can Maria conclude about these substances?
