The Diplomonads are a group of living organisms that include several common
intestinal parasites in humans. These parasites are characterized by the presence of
genetic material in the form of DNA, a plasma membrane, and ribosomes. Additionally,
this group is classified by the presence of non-functioning mitochondria. Based on this
information, hypothesize which of the following must also be true about this group.
A. They have a nucleoid.
,B. They possess both a nucleolus and an endoplasmic reticulum.
C. They possess chloroplasts.
D. They lack an endomembrane system. - Correct answer B. They possess both a
nucleolus and an endoplasmic reticulum.

structures is ONLY found in Eukaryotes?
I. nuclear pores
II. DNA
III. RNA

V. cell wall
A. I only
B. I and V
C. II, III and IV
D. II, III and V - Correct answer A. I only
,Which statement best describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular
respiration?
A. Respiration stores energy in complex organic molecules, whereas photosynthesis
releases it.
B. Photosynthesis occurs only in plants and respiration occurs only in animals.
C. Respiration is catabolic, and photosynthesis is anabolic.
