Ah, that was clever. By using the sun's rays to fix carbon from the atmosphere, you can grow and grow and reproduce and reproduce. There's no competition for the sun's rays, so long as you stay in the light you are good to go.
But all this free food is making you a tasty target for various eukaryotes, which are swimming right up to you, engulfing you, and eating you whole! This is bad! These guys are a lot tougher than you. Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? With a bit of luck, one of these eukaryotic bad boys will engulf you, but then keep you around inside so that you can eat sunlight and make food and let them have some. It's basically the evolutionary equivalent of the Mafia.

I'm toughing it out, on the outside.
Safer to become a made man. I'm in.
