Question

Describe an example of endosymbiosis that has been observed and documented.

Answer 1

A good example of endosymbiosis would be Professor Kwang Jeons' observation of amoebas and bacteria. Professor Kwang Jeon discovered that the surviving amoebas, and their offspring, couldn't survive without the bacteria. This is similar to the endosymbiotic theory. The host cell and the bacteria cell it ingested developed a beneficial existence. Overtime they lost the ability to live without each .This shows how cells become dependent on ingested, or invading cells.

Answer 2

An example of endosymbiosis are tapeworms that feed inside your colon or intestines. They feed inside you taking you from nutrients your body should be utilizing. Some people have to go under strict diets because any sweets, protein and carbohydrates enables them to reproduce.
