TED-ED: How we think complex cells evolved - Adam Jacobson

The video explores the endosymbiotic theory, explaining how complex eukaryotic cells evolved through the absorption of other organisms. It discusses the historical context of early life forms, the process of endosymbiosis, and the evidence supporting this theory, such as the presence of DNA and ribosomes in chloroplasts and mitochondria. The video also highlights the applications of this theory in understanding the evolution of diverse eukaryotic organisms.
