You are given the task of designing an aerobic, mixotrophic protist that can perform photosynthesis in fairly deep water (e.g., 250 m deep), and can also crawl about and engulf small particles. With which two of these structures would you provide your protist?

1. hydrogenosome

2. apicoplast

3. pseudopods

4. chloroplast from red alga

5. chloroplast from green alga
