Please explain. What does your answer say about the evolution of photosynthesis?

Explanation / Answer

Your answer is correct.

The plant cell and animal cell had a common ancestor. The evolution of flagellates occured before the evolution of plants and animals. Hence the plant cell is more closely related to animal than the flagellates. The flagellates are part animal and part plant but they have distinct features which puts them away from these two groups. The plants cell, in the given example, is more closely related to a rabbit cell than a Euglena or proteobacteria.
