The First Eukaryotes • The oldest fossils of eukaryotic cells date back 2.1 billion years • Eukaryotic cells have a nuclear envelope, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and a cytoskeleton • The endosymbiont theory proposes that mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts and related organelles) were formerly small prokaryotes living within larger host cells • An endosymbiont is a cell that lives within a host cell AP Biology © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
