    dependent on each other (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Strong evidence suggests that different types of photosynthetic cyanobacteria underwent endosymbiosis that evolved into different types of photosynthetic eukaryotes (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2012). During eukaryotic evolution‚ red algae and green algae led to five supergroups of eukaryotes through a process of secondary endosymbiosis (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Three basic photosynthetic pigments: chlorophylls‚ carotenoids‚ and phycobilins‚ each absorb
