, Ans: Archaea engulfing alpha proteobacteria (mitochondria, first)
Heterotrophic Euk engulfing cyanobacteria (chloroplasts, second)
8). Secondary endosymbiosis
Ans: Bigger eukaryote engulfs smaller eukaryote, leads to secondary plastids
9). Serial endosymbiosis basic process
Ans: 1. Heterotrophic Euk with mitochondria engulfs cyanobacteria (1
endosymbiosis)
2. Becomes green algae, an autotrophic euk with chloroplasts
3. Heterotrophic euk engulfs the green algae, a euk. (2 endosymbiosis
4. Becomes an autotrophic euk with secondary plastids
10). Protists
Ans: A eukaryotic organism that cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus.
"the very first"
11). Nutritional strategies of protists
Ans: photoautotrophs, heterotrophs, mixotrophs
