Q

What is the Endosymbiont Hypothesis?

A

theory that states some eukaryotic cell organelles, such as mitochondria and plastids, evolved from free-living prokaryotes. Mitochondrial endosymbiosis initiated the evolution of the eukaryotic cell (suggested by Margulis)

17
Q

Chrysophytes are?

A

Golden Algae, yellow pigment. can be photosynthestic if food is scarce

18
Q

Define Mixotrophs

A

survive using both photosyntesis when food is scarce and they eat bacteria and diatoms

19
Q

Define Heterotrophs

A

get energy by consuming other organisms, growing that way - included animals, bacteria and protists

20
Q

Define phototrophs

A

use light to make food and grow - include chloroplasts in their body
