==Origins==
Photosynthetic eukaryotes originated following a primary [[endosymbiotic theory|endosymbiotic]] event, where a heterotrophic eukaryotic cell engulfed a photosynthetic [[cyanobacteria|cyanobacterium]]-like prokaryote that became stably integrated and eventually evolved into a membrane-bound [[organelle]]: the [[plastid]].<ref name="Keeling-2010">{{cite journal | vauthors = Keeling PJ | title = The endosymbiotic origin, diversification and fate of plastids | journal = Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.
