The eukaryote, the first cell to get organized

I write about organisations, and I had never considered that! I wonder if that fits with the historical bias towards functional organisation. (And functionalism in sociology, but I undestand that to be discredited now)
Chloroplasts are only one type of plastid; this process occurred far more than once.
Some of the branches gained chloroplast. (IIRC there are three versions.)
And some members of the branches got multicelular.
A more technical and accurate version from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicellular_organism
> However, complex multicellular organisms evolved only in six eukaryotic groups: animals, symbiomycotan fungi, brown algae, red algae, green algae, and land plants. It evolved repeatedly for Chloroplastida (green algae and land plants), once for animals, once for brown algae, three times in the fungi (chytrids, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes) and perhaps several times for slime molds and red algae.
Quantum mechanics get outsized attention as the “small scale” world. The electrical exists just above it in size, but is much more relevant to how we perceive reality.
Next thing, they'll start talking about unions!
