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 do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?
aliina [53]

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.

List the proteins/enzymes involved in the process of replication
ELEN [110]
Replication is the process where DNA molecules copies itself to form another DNA molecule during cell division. it involves several enzymes which includes DNA helicase, the enzyme that unwounds the DNA double helix. RNA primase, it is an enzyme that creates an RNA primer. DNA polymerase, it is the enzyme that matches and lays down nucleotides to form the new DNA daughter. DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments by catalysing the formation of phosphodiester bond.
