And odds are, that just one is so venomous that it could kill a city of a million because, you know....."damn nature, you scary."
DaveSamsonite
I saw these things alive at the Aquarium in Monaco a few years back, pretty sure. They look just like that!

The Euglena just rage quit Imgur.

The headline isn't true. Plenty of animals have symbiotic algae that they use to photosynthesize.

There are jellyfish that do this https://scienceblogs.com/lifelines/2011/12/21/amazing-symbiotic-relationship

It's not even the only photosynthetic sea slug.

This reads like a line from a show about teenage slugs. Title: Slug High: Sea You Later

Also, it's not ATP synthesis, but even humans use light to synthesize vitamin D.
Altimos
I don't, not because I'm incapable, but because I don't go outside.
Kbantar
I do go out, get plenty of sun and am pale AF. I still need to take supplements.
NotACop1515IsMyAgeNotACop
I dont cuz getting vitamin D is gay.
huskernightowl6
Technically, you're giving yourself the vitamin D, the sun is just helping. Is that still gay?
HairyBigToe
100%

Only if you don't say no homo.

*squints at sun as I step outside**deep breath as I run to car* "NOOOO HOOOOOOOOOMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo-" *Gasp* "ah fuckit what do I care."

I would argue that having algae on an animal doesn't count as that animal photosynthesizing.
goudist
It inside not ON the the animal. Sometimes as an algae sometimes it's just the plastids.
TheSovietUnion
That's still two separate beings, though. If I swallow a tapeworm I do not then become part tapeworm.
goudist
It be more like you eating spinach, digesting everything except for their chloroplasts, and incorporating them into your dermal tissue where
goudist
They allow you to photosynthesize.
Kliamovich
Wouldn't this constitute a symbiotic relationship between two separate organisms? I mean, the sea slug isn't the one photosynthesising...
goudist
Only in the sense that your mitochondria are separate organisms than you.
Kliamovich
Mitochondria are subcellular structures, not a separate organisms.
Kliamovich
Ok, I just read that mitochondria are the result of a bacterial prokaryotic cell having been enveloped by a eukaryotic host cell, (1/2)
