cell wall
nucleus
mitochondria
chloroplasts
First Question (Endosymbiosis Example)
Endosymbiosis is a symbiotic relationship where one organism lives inside another. Prokaryotes (like certain bacteria) in termite guts helping digest wood is a classic modern example of endosymbiosis, as the prokaryotes and termites have a mutualistic internal symbiosis. Algae in coral is symbiosis but not the typical endosymbiosis example related to the evolution of organelles (the context of endosymbiosis theory for eukaryotes). Bacteria in human intestines are commensal or mutualistic but not the key example for endosymbiosis in the context of eukaryotic evolution. Bacteria on plant roots are a rhizosphere relationship, not endosymbiosis.
According to endosymbiosis theory and eukaryotic evolution, mitochondria are believed to have evolved first. The nucleus is a defining eukaryotic feature but likely evolved after mitochondria. Chloroplasts evolved later (from cyanobacteria - like organisms, after mitochondria, in plant - like lineages). The cell wall is not an organelle and has different evolutionary origins across organisms.
