The evolutionary relationships of four eukaryotic kingdoms–Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista–remain unclear. What kingdom only contains eukaryotes? Kingdom Protista includes all eukaryotes that are not animals, plants, or fungi. Kingdom Protista is very diverse. It consists of both single-celled and multicellular organisms. Which of the 5 kingdoms have this typeRead More →

Aerobic organisms are organisms that need oxygen to make energy. Although some aerobic organisms, such as animals, breathe in oxygen through lungs or gills, other organisms, like plants, fungi, and bacteria, are also aerobic. All aerobic organisms use cellular respiration to make energy. Are all organisms that respire aerobically areRead More →

Prokaryotes also are abundant on and within the human body. According to a report by National Institutes of Health, prokaryotes, especially bacteria, outnumber human cells 10:1. Are humans multicellular or eukaryotic? As well as humans, plants, animals and some fungi and algae are multicellular. A multicellular organism is always eukaryoteRead More →

Most prokaryotes carry a small amount of genetic material in the form of a single molecule, or chromosome, of circular DNA. The DNA in prokaryotes is contained in a central area of the cell called the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Do all cells have geneticRead More →

Essentially, protozoa are single-celled eukaryotes. This means that they are single celled organisms that have a nuclei as well as a number of other important organelles within the cytoplasm and enclosed by a membrane. Are protists eukaryotic or prokaryotic and how do you know? Protists are eukaryotes, which means theirRead More →

Fragmentation is very commonly seen in both fungi and lichens. Molds, yeasts, and mushrooms are some of the types of fungi where reproduction is achieved via asexual fragmentation. Do prokaryotes reproduce by fragmentation? Prokaryotes reproduce asexually by binary fission; they can also exchange genetic material by transformation, transduction, and conjugation.Read More →
