Q: Many of the protist species classified into the supergroup excavata are asymmetrical, single-celled organisms with a feeding groove "excavated" from one side. this supergroup includes heterotrophic predators, photosynthetic species, and these? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Excavata Many of the protist species classified into the supergroup Excavata are asymmetrical, single-celled organisms with a feeding groove "excavated" from one side. This supergroup includes heterotrophic predators, photosynthetic species, and parasites. Its subgroups are the diplomonads, parabasalids, and euglenozoans. Diplomonads Among the Excavata are the diplomonads, which include the intestinal parasite, Giardia lamblia (Figure 23.10). Until recently, these protists were believed to lack mitochondria. Mitochondrial remnant organelles, called mitosomes, have since been identified in diplomonads, but these mitosomes are essentially nonfunctional. Diplomonads exist in anaerobic environments and use alternative pathways, such as glycolysis, to generate energy. Each diplomonad cell has two identical nuclei and uses several flagella for locomotion. Choices: - insects - reptiles - mammals - parasites A:
parasites

Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Proteins play a variety of important roles in biochemical systems. Some of the most common protein functions are listed below:. Choices: - mutation - reactants - bacteria - protein A:

Q: Natural gas, such as those burned by gas stoves, is composed mostly of this? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The burner on a gas stove burns with a pretty blue flame like the one pictured in the opening image. The fuel burned by most gas stoves is natural gas, which consists mainly of methane. Methane is a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen. Like many other compounds that consist of just these two elements, methane is used for fuel because it burns very easily. Methane is an example of a covalent compound. Choices: - sulfur - carbon monoxide - oxygen - methane A:
methane
