In May 2016, scientists discovered a eukaryote organism from a group known
as Monocercomonoides that lacks functional
mitochondria. Research this organism, and
answer these questions:
• Does this organism still meet the definition
of a eukaryote? Why or why not?
Why can this organism survive without
mitochondria?
Without mitochondria, does this organism
still carry out all the basic functions of life?
Should the organism be considered a life-
form?

Which statements are true concerning mineral formation? check all that apply. the slower the cooling, the larger the crystals. the faster the cooling, the smaller the crystals. crystals formed from magma are smaller than crystals formed from lava. minerals can only form in solutions when the solution is heated deep underground. when a solution cools, elements and compounds leave the solution and crystallize as minerals. minerals formed from hot water solutions can form narrow channels in the surrounding rock.
