Mitochondria are organelles responsible for cellular respiration and ATP production. The presence of their own genetic material and protein synthesis machinery is strong evidence supporting the endosymbiotic theory, which posits that mitochondria evolved from free-living prokaryotic organisms that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells.
