Question

You discover a new species of aerobic, mixotrophic protist that can perform photosynthesis in fairly deep water (for example, 250 m deep). It can also crawl about and engulf small particles. Which two characteristics does your protist have to have in order to successfully complete these tasks?
1. hydrogenosome
2. apicoplast
3. pseudopods
4. chloroplast from red alga
5. chloroplast from green alga
A) 1 and 2
B) 2 and 3
C) 2 and 4
D) 3 and 4
E) 4 and 5

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 3 and 4

Explanation:

Pseudopods is a tool for movement in many protists such as amoeba. Pseudopods is the extension of cytoplasm which enables the organism to move from place to place and capture the food by engulf small particles. This protists has chloroplast because chloroplast is responsible for the production of food materials from sunlight in the process of photosynthesis.
