Answer:

C. Detecting light for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

An Euglena is a protozoan. It has an single cell which makes it a unicellular organism. It is also has a well defined nucleus with membrane bound organelles which makes the Euglena eukaryotic in nature.

An Euglena possesses both human and plant like traits. Its human trait is that an Euglena moves with the aid of a flagella. Its plant like trait is that an Euglena has chloroplast present as one of its membrane bound organelles which its uses for photosynthesis.

Due to the presence of animal and plant like traits in an Euglena, and Euglena is both autotrophic and heterotrophic in nature.

One of the organelles present in the Euglena is its eyespot. This is a very important organelle because the Euglena uses the eyespot to detect sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. The chloroplast then traps this detected light for photosynthesis.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

Chlamydiae

Planctomycetes

Rickettsia

Bacteroidetes

The correct answer is Chlamydiae.

Explanation:

Chlamydiae together with mycoplasmas, constitute the bacterial species with the smallest genomes, possibly because they are obligate small intracellular parasites for a long time, which has allowed them to lose certain metabolic pathways, however, they contain DNA, RNA and ribosomes therefore synthesize their own proteins and nucleic acids. Chlamydiae have a unique biphasic life cycle: the elemental body, which is the infectious form, and the reticular body, which is the replicative and metabolically active form that possesses a fragile membrane that lacks the extensive disulfide bonds characteristic of elemental bodies. The characteristics of its biological cycle do not facilitate the possibility of exchange and acquisition of exogenous genetic material.
