Question

While serving as a visiting professor on the planet Freedonia, with infinite resources available to you, you decide to try implanting mitochondria into alien bacterial cells that can perform only glycolysis. Assuming your experiment is successful, what result would you predict?

Answer 1

Answer: What do you mean with "successful"?

Explanation: First of all, if you need to established the fact that an experiment has been successful, it needs to be viable. And in order to be viable, it has to be practical.

Second thing, are we really talking about a "planet" ? Nevermind.

Life index, grade of utility/usefulness, scale of danger to other species, adaptability, aggressiveness. These are just a few blanks that your experiment has to have on POSITIVE.

Predicting a result it´s almost impossible without these parameters.
