An organism is found in a deep-sea vent where the temperature is very high and the mineral content very unusual. The organism is unicellular, has no apparent nucleus, and has a cell wall but no peptidoglycan. This organism would be classified as which of the following types of organisms?
a) algae
b) bacteria
c) archaea
d) virus

Respuesta :

Archaea is the correct answer

Explanation:

  • Archaea is the group of single celled organisms which has no apparent nucleus that is why it is considered prokaryote
  • They thrive in extreme environmental conditions for example extreme pH,salinity and temperature
  • Archaea were initially classified as bacteria but since the differences in their cell type and organization it was given a different class
  • Archaea has a cell wall wall but no peptidoglycan whereas bacteria contains peptidoglycan so bacteria cannot be the option in given condition
  • In the condition no apparent nucleus is given but algae have a prominent nucleus so it cannot be the given organism
  • Viruses do not have a cell wall rather consists of cell coat so it cannot be the right option
