    So? Why don’t they get an employer cell to supply them with a wage for their work with which they can purchase the molecules they require for life?

    This seems like a very inefficient system, a profit based one would make these cells much more productive!

      that’s how mitochondria work. It’s more of a mutualistic thing however as the alternative would be to get eaten by another cell very quickly.

        Granted, that evolution was more of a “forced adoption” scenario but it worked out for everyone in the end. I would probably see that more as mutual union where both cells depend on one another to survive, rather then a coercive subjugation like in a job market.
