Question
protozoa contain all organelles that are found in eukaryotes except:
○ golgi apparatus
○ rough er
○ mitochondira
○ chloroplasts
Protozoa are single - celled eukaryotic organisms. They are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain food from external sources. Chloroplasts are organelles involved in photosynthesis, which is a process to make food using light energy. Since protozoa don't perform photosynthesis (they are heterotrophic), they lack chloroplasts. Golgi Apparatus, Rough ER, and Mitochondria are organelles that are important for processes like protein processing, protein synthesis, and energy production respectively, and protozoa do have these organelles.
