Secondary endosymbiosis involves the internalization of a unicellular organism with organelles formed via primary endosymbiosis. This has led to diverse eukaryotic life-forms on Earth. The occurrence of secondary endosymbiosis is evidenced by the presence of three- and four-membraned plastids and the nuclear remnants of the primary endosymbiont in certain algae and dinoflagellates.
