Without mitochondria, does Monocercomonoides still carry out all the basic functions of life?

Anon25 [30]3 years ago

Hi

As we have studied that Mitochondria is an organelle that is considered to be the power house of the cell. It is the main site where production of energy along with its supply to other organelles occur. All eukaryotic organisms contain mitochondria in their cells, however, Monocercomonoides are a newly discovered group of organisms which are eukaryotic but can happily live without the presence of mitochondria because they dont contain it in their cells.

It is believed that in Monocercomonoides, the  iron-sulfur cluster assembly pathway is replaced by cytosolic sulfur mobilization system (SUF)  pathway due to which the organism is able to easily carry out all its life processes. Evolutionary studies have also shown that previously these organisms had mitochondria but lost it during evolutionary processes.

Hope it helps!

Is it true that ocean biomes contain a wider biodiversity than land biomes why or why not?
EastWind [94]
The difficulty with this answer, lies in the fact that not all of land and ocean biomes have been completely explored. The ocean is vast, covering approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, with literally vertical miles or kilometers of depth, and with some areas with sparse to no biodiversity. The same can be said about certain areas of large deserts with very low levels of biodversity, void of life, like vast deserts of the Sahara or Gobi. But, the Amazon rain forest contains still unknown species of plant and animal life, just like the ocean. Because of its vastness, intellectually, I would say  the ocean contains more biodiversity, but the answer is scientifically, as of now, yet to be proven one way or the other.
