It contains mitochondria.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is It is photosynthetic.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is the pigment that helps in the absorption of sunlight required to make food in green plants. The process of making organic food with the help of CO₂ and H₂O in the presence of sunlight is known as photosynthesis.

So chlorophyll is used by green plants, algae, and some bacteria like cyanobacteria to absorb the solar radiation so that it can be used to make food by photosynthesis. Therefore if any eubacteria contains chlorophyll then it can do photosynthesis to make its food in the form of glucose from CO₂ and H₂O.

Therefore the correct answer is it is photosynthetic.
