Question

Do Eukaryotes have hydrogenosomes?

Answer 1

Hydrogenosomes:

Hydrogenosomes are membrane-bound eukaryotic organelles that are only present in eukaryotes.

Eukaryotes:

1. Eukaryotes are organisms having cells that contain a nuclear envelope around their nucleus.
2. In anaerobic (oxygen-deficient) conditions, the hydrogenosome is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei) that creates molecular hydrogen (H2) as a by-product of energy synthesis.
3. Eukaryotes do have hydrogenosomes.
