- How was Brocadia anammoxidan named? What or who was it named after? (Organisms are often named for where they were found, unique morphological or metabolic features, name of the person who discovered it, etc. Attempt both genus and species name. For example, if my organism was Xanthomonas oryzae, I would Google “Xanthomonas word origin.” and “oryzae word origin.” Often a word origin is Greek or Latin, so Google your word followed by “Greek” or “Latin”)arrow_forwardNote : — don't copy in google or bartleby.

- Why is the term prokaryote considered an inadequate descriptor by some microbiologists?arrow_forwardRickettsia bacteria always lives as parasites inside eukaryotic cells, ad their genomes are much smaller then those of free living bacteria. Organisms that live only as parasites often have reduced genomes compared to the free living relatives. How could a parasitic lyfestyle contribute to a reduction in genome size?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding protozoa is false?a) Some protozoa lack mitochondria.b) Some protozoa contain chlorophyll.c) Some protozoa are parasitic.d) Malaria is caused by a protozoan.arrow_forward
