Explore the incredible adaptations of Elysia chlorotica, a species of sea slug that can photosynthesize food.
--
The species of slug known as Elysia chlorotica may not look like much- it resembles a bright green leaf- but it’s one of the most extraordinary creatures on our planet. Living in marshes along the coast of North America, it can go about a year without eating. During that time, it lives like a plant. How is this possible? Luka Seamus Wright digs into the incredible adaptations of these mixotrophs.

Elysia chlorotica is a type of slug that can produce its own food and photosynthesize just like a plant. It lives in salt marshes along the east coast of North America and can go about a year without eating. Elysia can both consume food, like animals, and produce it through photosynthesis, like plants. There are more than 70 species of slugs that steal chloroplasts from their food. The process is similar to that which led to the origin of all plants, when single-celled animals ate tiny cyanobacteria inside their own cells and became photosynthetic.

I'd almost forgotten, but this video has reminded me. In the seventies, my grandfather was one of many people who bought into the idea that taking chlorophyll pills (tablets?) would do wonderful things for you. I loved looking at all the crazy things he had hanging from nails in his garage. I've turned out a bit like him--if I can't find something I need, because I'm so disorganized, I often just go buy another, ending up with several of the items. But he was generous enough, so some of those extra items he bought, he gave to me. He might have given me some chlorophyll pills, if I'd been interested, but I was convinced they were a scam.

If you think this is OP you should revise previous patch notes and other builds. Some jelly fish can be immortal, and if they’re about to die of old age they can immediately reset their age and go back to a child. NGL this is kind of underpowered. Next time earth gets a balance patch they should buff this so mixotrophs can survive fully on one form of food, whether that’s making their own through photosynthesis or eating other organisms, and not a mix of both

So this slug is a real-life Kirby? Swallows algae and becomes part plant. So cool!

The fact that mitochondria also has evidence that this happened is so fascinating. It makes me think of a virus being consumed only up become the nucleus of a cell.

Evolution is a big word thrown in at the end to try to explain why. You don’t need to try to explain. Just be in awe.

Since flatworms and slugs were some of the hardiest complex lifeforms to come out of the Cambrian Explosion, maybe when we're gone, these plastids will have their chance to shine. Lord knows they'll have plenty of food to spread out and adapt.

TED-Ed has taught me more than school and college combined. It's kind of sad when I think about it.

TBH the slug should play roguelike games, where they kill and get stronger from it. They can already eat algae and take their ability
