Most scientists subscribe to the theory of endosymbiosis to explain the presence of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells. According to the theory of endosymbiosis, early preeukaryotic cells phagocytosed free living prokaryotes, but failed to digest them. As a result, these prokaryotes remained in residence in the pre-eukaryotes, and continued to generate energy. The host cells were able to use this energy to gain a selective advantage over their competitors, and eventually the energy-producing prokaryotes became mitochondria. In many ways, mitochondria are different from other cellular organelles, and these differences puzzled scientists for many years. The theory of endosymbiosis concisely explains a number of these observations about mitochondria. Perhaps most of all, the theory explains why aerobic metabolism is entirely limited to this one organelle, while other kinds of metabolism are more distributed in the cellular cytosol.

He did not infringe upon the policy making powers that he felt the constitution gave congress. but the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a presidential concern. when the french revolution led to a major war between france and england, washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his secretary of state thomas jefferson, who was pro-french, or his secretary of the treasury alexander hamilton, who was pro-british. rather, he insisted upon a neutral course until the united states could grow stronger. which provides the best objective summary of this excerpt? president washington made a good choice when he decided not to accept the recommendations of his advisors and instead insisted that the united states stay neutral during the war between france and england as president, washington believed that the united states should remain neutral in foreign policy even though he had advisors who recommended that he take sides during the war between france and england. washington did not make policy decisions during his presidency because he did not want to interfere with the policy-making powers that the constitution gave congress. washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his secretary of state thomas jefferson, who was pro-french, or his secretary of the treasury alexander hamilton, who was pro-britis
