Q

What’s the secondary endosymbiosis?

A

entire green algal/ red algal cells were engulfed and their chloroplast retained

20
Q

Primary endosymbiosis is the process in which?

A

a eukaryote engulfs another living prokaryote

21
Q

Secondary endosymbioses is the process in which?

A

when a eukaryote cell engulfs another eukaryote cell that has undergone primary endosymbiosis.
