Endosymbiosis is the story of how ‘complex’ cells supposedly evolved from ‘simpler’ ones. The cells considered most complex, like animal and plant cells, are called eukaryotic, while cells like bacteria are prokaryotic. How did eukaryotic cells get some of the structures prokaryotes lack? Textbooks say these structures evolved when a larger cell engulfed some smaller ones, but let’s think about that.
