| Endosymbiosis (primary vs. secondary) |
|
Definition
Endosymbiosis is a process in which a unicellular organism (host) engulfs another cell, which ultimately becomes an organelle in the host cell.
primary: eukaryote -> prokaryote
secondary eukaryote -> eukaryote which has undergone primary endosymbiosis |
