Overview of Plants

Question 4 • Basic Biology S2

Jeremiah claims that a single-celled organism called a Euglena is a plant because it is eukaryotic, performs cellular respiration and photosynthesis, needs sunlight, and is unicellular.

Answer
A
It performs respiration.
B
It is unicelluar.
C
It performs photosynthesis.
D
It is eukaryotic.

Explanation

Being unicellular does not show that Euglena is a plant; many kinds of organisms are single-celled, and plants are generally multicellular. Photosynthesis and needing sunlight are more plant-like traits, while being eukaryotic and performing respiration are shared by many organisms. So “It is unicellular” is the choice that does not support Jeremiah’s claim.
