Definitions of the words:

1. Hypothesis: A proposed explanation or prediction for a phenomenon based on preliminary evidence or knowledge.

2. Observation: The act of perceiving or noticing something using one's senses.

3. Prokaryotic: Referring to organisms that lack a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles in their cells, such as bacteria.

4. Independent variable: The variable that is deliberately changed or manipulated in an experiment to observe its effect on the dependent variable.

5. Inference: A logical conclusion or interpretation based on evidence or reasoning.

6. Eukaryotic: Referring to organisms whose cells contain a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists.

7. Dependent variable: The variable that is being observed or measured in an experiment and is expected to change as a result of the independent variable.

8. Scientific Theories: Well-substantiated explanations of some aspect of the natural world that are based on empirical evidence and have been repeatedly tested and confirmed.

9. Endosymbiotic Theory: A theory that proposes that some organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were once independent prokaryotic organisms engulfed by larger cells and eventually became symbiotic partners.

10. Constant: A factor or variable that remains unchanged or consistent throughout an experiment to ensure that the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable can be isolated.

11. Scientific Laws: Statements or principles that describe or predict a natural phenomenon and has been scientifically proven and universally accepted.

12. Homeostasis: The ability of an organism or system to maintain internal stability and balance in response to changing external conditions.

13. Control Group: The group in an experiment that does not receive the experimental treatment and serves as a baseline for comparison.

14. Quantitative: Relating to or involving the measurement of quantities or amount, typically using numbers.

15. Metabolism: The chemical processes that occur within a living organism to maintain life, such as the conversion of food into energy and the synthesis of biomolecules.

16. Experimental Group: The group in an experiment that receives the experimental treatment or manipulation being tested.

17. Qualitative: Relating to or involving qualities or characteristics rather than quantities, often involving subjective judgments or descriptions.

Scientific theories are well-supported explanations about parts of the natural world. They rely on evidence from real-life observations and have been thoroughly tested and verified.

A theory that proposes that some organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were once independent prokaryotic organisms engulfed by larger cells and eventually became symbiotic partners.

Reword this sentence

This theory suggests that certain organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts, were originally separate prokaryotic organisms that got engulfed by larger cells and eventually formed a symbiotic relationship.

This theory suggests that certain organelles, like mitochondria and chloroplasts, were originally separate prokaryotic organisms that got engulfed by larger cells and eventually formed a symbiotic relationship.

Reword this sentence

According to this theory, organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts were initially independent prokaryotic organisms that were engulfed by larger cells and eventually established a symbiotic partnership.

This theory states that organelles like mitochondria or chloroplasts were originally self-supporting prokaryotic cells that were swallowed up by larger cells and formed a symbiotic relationship.

This idea says that little parts inside cells called mitochondria or chloroplasts used to be their own cells, like little bugs. They were eaten by bigger cells and became friends to help each other.
