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

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!

What should i know about proteins?​
katrin [286]

Proteins  are unbranched polymers constructed from 22 standard α-amino acids.

The protein show four levels of structural organisation; the primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure and quaternary structure.

The structure of proteins are stabilized by peptide bonds between the amino acid and hydrogen bond between the peptide chainds.

The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids, but secondary and tertiary structures of protein define their natural or native conformation.

The solubility of protein varies according to the pH, ionic strength, nature of solvent, temperature etc.

Proteins can be classified as simple proteins or conjugated proteins on the basis of their composition.

The proteins can also be classified as fibrous proteins or globular proteins on the basis of their shape.

Proteins play a major part in body structure and function as most of the molecules like antibodies, immunoglobulins, hemoglobin, myoglobin ,most of the enzymes are proteins.

So proteins are also called building blocks of the body.

Which of the following would be considered
aleksley [76]

Answer;

5. the flipper of a dolphin and the arm of a koala

Explanation;

Homologous structures are body structures that share a common origin, the degree at which these structures resemble each other can be used to infer the closeness of evolutionary relatedness.

-A homologous structure is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, underlining anatomical commonalities demonstrating descent from a common ancestor. It's when very different animals have bones that appear very similar in form or function and seem to be related. For  example; the flipper of a dolphin and the arm of a koala.
