This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.“The symbiotic theory of the origin and evolution of cells rests on two concepts — The first is that the most fundamental division in the living world is between the prokaryotic and the eukaryotic organisms, between the bacteria and those organisms composed of cells with nuclei — the protists, animals, fungi, and plants. The second is that the evolution of symbioses — that is, the formation of permanent associations between organisms of different species — has been the origin of some parts of eukaryotic cells. Three classes of organelles — mitochondria, cilia, and photosynthetic plastids — are thought to have once been free-living bacteria that were acquired symbiotically and in a certain sequence by host prokaryotes.”Lynn Margulis 1981This is a preview of subscription content, .
