A newly discovered unicellular organism from acidic mine drainage is found to contain a cell wall, a plasma membrane, two flagel
la, and a peroxomes. Based just on this information, the organism is most likely _________.A. a motile archaea B. a nonmotile eukaryote C. a motile bacterium D. a motile eukaryote
<em>The correct option is D) a motile eukaryote</em>
Explanation:
Peroxisomes are structures which are present only in the plant or animal cells. Hence, based on this observation we can easily tell that the organism which is newly discovered is a eukaryote. Both plants and animals are eukaryotes.
Flagella are structures which are thin and hair shaped. Flagella allow movement of a cell, mostly they allow a whip-like movement. Based on this observation we will conclude that the organism discovered is a motile eukaryote.
