The antibiotic streptomycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria. If this antibiotic is added to a culture of animal cells, protein synthesis in the cytosol continues normally

However, over time, the population of mitochondria in the cell becomes depleted. Specifically, it is observed that the protein-synthesis machinery inside the mitochondria is inhibited. A. Explain this observation based on what you know about the origins of the modern eukaryote. B. What do you expect to observe if, in a new experiment, animal cells are treated with diphtheria toxin, a compound that is known to block cytosolic protein synthesis but does not have any impact on bacterial growth?
