Mitochondria and chloroplasts are believed to have developed from symbiotic bacteria, specifically alpha-proteobacteria and cyanobacteria, respectively. The theory states that a prokaryotic cell was consumed or engulfed by a larger cell.

Eukaryotic because cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic prokaryotes, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles
