Question

A scientist discovers a new species near coral reefs in Australia. She finds that this single-celled species is photosynthetic (using sunlight for energy), has a rigid cell wall structure with no peptidoglycan, uses a flagellum for motion, and contains a variety of internal structures that are membrane-bound. Given this information, this new species is most likely a(n) ______ cell in the ______ domain.

Answer 1

1. Eukaryotic

2. Eukaryota

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Eukaryotic- The newly found species has a cell wall and contains membrane-bound organelles. The presence of membrane-bound organelles shows that the cell is a Eukaryotic cell.

2. Eukaryota- the species is single-celled with the presence of cell wall without peptidoglycan. This shows that the species could belong to the Eukaryota domain proposed by Carl Woese.

Thus, 1. Eukaryotic and 2. Eukaryota is the correct answer.
