5. Eukaryotic Origins The modern eukaryotic cell type probably arose in stages –a proto-eukaryote arose from a prokaryotic ancestor –the rigid cell surface was replaced with a flexible cell surface increased surface area for exchange of materials with environment pseudo-internal membranes for localized metabolism
