Abstract

The vast majority of eukaryotic life is made up of single cells commonly referred to as protists. In this primer, Leander provides an introduction to predatory protists - cells that eat other cells. This lifestyle, in particular the use of phagocytosis, makes endosymbiosis possible and enabled the evolution of complex cells.

摘要

绝大多数真核生物都是由单细胞组成的，通常被称为原生生物。在这篇简介中，Leander 介绍了捕食性原生生物——即吃其他细胞的细胞。这种生活方式，特别是吞噬作用的使用，使内共生成为可能，并促成了复杂细胞的进化。
