Q

primary endosymbiosis

A

phagocytosis of a prokaryote by a larger cell

  • anaerobic Archaean engulfs an aerobic alpha protetobacterium (ALL EUKARYOTES, which have mitchondria)
  • heterotrophic eukaryote engulfs an autotrophic cyanobacterium (photosynthetic EUKARYOTES, which have mitochondria and chloroplasts)
