The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the characteristics of the organism described and match them with the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Characteristics**: - The organism is single-celled (unicellular). - It has a greenish color. - It has a cell wall surrounding its cell membrane. - It has small infoldings of the cell membrane. - Its genetic material (DNA or RNA) is present in the cytoplasm and is not enclosed in a nucleus (no nuclear envelope). - It has ribosomes for protein synthesis. 2. **Determine the Type of Organism**: - Since it is unicellular and has a cell wall, it could be a type of bacteria or algae. - The presence of genetic material in the cytoplasm without a nuclear envelope indicates that it is a prokaryotic organism (as opposed to eukaryotic organisms which have a defined nucleus). 3. **Consider the Options**: - **Bacteria**: Prokaryotic, unicellular, can have a cell wall, and genetic material is present in the cytoplasm. This fits the description. - **Algae**: Generally eukaryotic and may have a nucleus, so it does not fit the description. - **Fungi**: Eukaryotic and generally multicellular, does not fit the description. - **Virus**: Not cellular and does not fit the description as it cannot exist independently outside a host. 4. **Conclusion**: - The organism that fits all the described characteristics is **Bacteria**. ### Final Answer: The organism described is **Bacteria**. ---
