Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are present in eukaryotic cells and are crucial for energy production. Therefore, organisms that lack mitochondria would need an alternative energy source to survive. Single-celled protists may have evolved alternative mechanisms for energy production, while animals, terrestrial plants, and giant kelps all heavily rely on mitochondria for energy production and are unlikely to survive without them. Therefore, option D is the most plausible choice.
