Question

A new, photosynthetic single-celled organism was recently discover d and was classified by the team scientists who discovered it as a new species of bacteria. If they are correct, which of the following would you expect to be true of this organism? Select all that are true.

The cells of this new species are relatively large (between 8-10 micrometers) and have a relatively low surface area-to-volume ratio.
The cell has ribosomes.
The cell has membrane-bound organelles, including an endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes.
The cell may rely on the presence of hopanoids to regulate fluidity of the plasma membrane. ne cell synthesizes most of its ATP in mitochondria.
The cell has chloroplasts.

Answer 1

The cell has ribosomes.

The cell may rely on the presence of hopanoids to regulate fluidity of the plasma membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ribosomes are the organelles that are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. They serve as site for protein synthesis. Therefore, the new species of bacteria would also have ribosomes. However, it will not have membrane-bound structures such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. hopanoids are the molecules with five rings. They resemble cholesterol and insert themselves into the bacterial membranes. The function of these compounds is to maintain the fluidity and stability of the bacterial membranes.
