Endosymbiosis
Why certain species can live
        endosymbiotically?


Differences between symbiotic and non-
           symbiotic species
Hydra viridissima and Chlorella spp.

                           ? Symbiosis with
                             Clorella
                           ? Both can live
                             independently
                           ? Easy to culture
                           ? non-symbiotic
                             species in same
                             genus are known
