Summary Introduction

Introduction: The mechanism of secondary endosymbiosis takes place by the phagocytosis of the red algae by the unicellular eukaryotes to produce the higher organisms. The red algae have specific pigments, which are different from the chlorophyll-containing plastids. Therefore, the plastids are not present in the higher eukaryotes formed by the process of endosymbiosis. The new species have various pigments essential for the metabolic functions of the cell. These species do not have the plastids containing the green pigment chlorophyll.

Which group is incorrectly paired with its description?(A) diatoms—important producers in aquatic communities(B) red algae—eukaryotes that acquired plastids by secondaryendosymbiosis(C) apicomplexans—unicellular parasites with intricate life cycles(D) diplomonads—unicellular eukaryotes with modifiedmitochondria
Some molecular evidence suggests that the sister group of animals is not the choanoflagellates, but rather a group of parasitic protists, Mesomycetozoa. Given that these parasites lack collar cells, can this hypothesis be correct? Explain.
Which group is correctly paired with its description? A. diatoms-important consumers in aquatic communities B. diplomonads-protists with modified mitochondria C. apicomplexans -producers with intricate life cycles D. red algae-acquired plastids by secondary endosymbiosis
