The theory of endosymbiosis states that the eukaryotic cells evolved from the prokaryotic cells. According to this theory, a large bacterium ingested a small bacterium and then they evolved together working as a single unit. This can be shown through a model by demonstrating a big bacteria ingesting the small one. The small bacteria came to be cell organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts in the eukaryotic cells with their own DNA.

Correct: show the big bacteria ingesting the small one
