    1. What were the earliest life forms on Earth and how did they obtain food?
    2. What evidence do we have of this?
    3. Explain how endosymbiosis influenced the evolution of eukaryotes.
    4. Describe the relationship between Anabaena and Azolla. What type of symbiosis is this?
    5. What is the difference between a chloroplast, chromoplast, and amyloplast? Where in plants would each of these different plastids most likely be found? Consider the function of each of these organelles in your answer.
    6. Compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. What features do they share? What sets them apart from each other?
