Endosymbiotic theory:

The Endosymbiotic theory is about how prokaryotic cells evolve into eukaryotic
cells. The theory gives an explanation for how eukaryote cells could have evolved
from prokaryotic

 A scientific theory is an explanation of a scientific event supported by scientific

evidence.
 They both are cells.

Unicellular and Multicellular organisms:

UNI means ONE, so UNIcellular is made up with only ONE cell. Example: amoeba and
paramecium

Taxonomy: is the branch of science concerned with classifying life forms based o their
characteristics.
In biology, species is the smallest category used to classify life forms.
Two organisms belong to the same species if they are able to produce offspring that
retain this ability.

Ecology is the science that studies the interactions among living organisms and the
physical and chemical factors surrounding them.

Diffusion: is movement of particles from higher to lower concentration.
