BIOL 172L EXAM 1 UH MANOA QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+ **Endosymbiosis** Endosymbiosis is the process in which unicellular organisms engulf other cells, which then function as organelles within the host cell. This relationship is usually obligate, meaning the survival of one depends on the other. Studies of DNA sequencing suggest that green and red algae developed when heterotrophic eukaryotes engulfed cyanobacteria. **Algae** Algae are: - Eukaryotic - Aquatic - Photo-aut...
