The theory states that a chemoorganotrophic bacterium and a cyanobacterium were stably incorporated into a cell and gave rise to a mitochondrion and chloroplast (respectively), which formed a eukaryotic cell. Endosymbiosis provides a mutualistic relationship where the incorporated cells are protected from direct contact with the environment, and the cell that incorporated the cells gains metabolic diversity.
