symbiosis The living together of two different species in an intimate relationship. Symbiont always benefits; host may benefit, may be unaffected, or may be harmed (mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism).

Complex plastids originate by secondary endosymbiosis, when a eukaryote engulfs a red or green alga and retains the algal plastid, which is typically surrounded by more than two membranes, and reduced in its metabolic and/or photosynthetic capacity.

In a matter, it's like a symbiosis. The photosynthetic organisms are your primary producers, but some of them are aerobic primary producers; some are anaerobic primary producers. When there's no oxygen, they can still produce, use light energy.

Plants and fungi (in symbiosis) invaded the land about 400 million years ago. The first plants were moss-like and required moist environments to survive.

those existing between different species, are numerous, and usually described according to their beneficial, detrimental or neutral effect (for example, symbiosis (relation ++) or competition (relation --)).
