Q

The Oxygen revolution

A

aka ‘blue green bacteria’, formally known as ‘blue green algae’

  • Can convert Nitrogen in the atmosphere into an organic form (ammonia or nitrate)
    • nucleic acids (DNA)
    • proteins

Q

PRIMARY ENDOSYMBIOSIS

A

is the process in which a eukaryote engulfs another living prokaryote. An organism may then use that organism to its advantage. If a eukaryotic cell engulfs a photosynthetic alga cell, the larger organism can then use the products of the alga and become an autotrophic organism.
