Mitochondria

Mitochondria are only found in eukaryotic cells. This is also true of other membrane-bound structures like the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus (more on these later). One theory for eukaryotic evolution hypothesizes that mitochondria were first prokaryotic cells that lived inside other cells.
