Chapter 5, Problem 1VC
Summary Introduction
To indicate:
The group of the organism from the figure that contains a nucleus.
Introduction:
A nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that is found in every eukaryotic cell. Inside the nucleus many proteins, RNA molecules, and chromosome are present. A nucleus is an organelle that carries the cells hereditary material in the form of the DNA molecule.

A eukaryote with a single-celled body could be which of the following? Choose all that apply.
Group of answer choices
It could not be any of these options
A fungus
An animal
A protist
A bacterium
A scientist has discovered a new species and is tasked with identifying which of the kingdoms of life the organism might fit.
Multicellular with nuclei
Presence of a cell wall containing chitin
Heterotrophic
Non-motile
Question options:
Fungi
Protista
Plantae
Animalia
Protists are a group of organisms that are eukaryotic. However, they are a diverse group, with some of the members of the group having a more recent common ancestor with plants while others have a more recent common ancestor with animals. Algae are protists that are more closely related to plants than any other group.
Which characteristics would algae share with plants but NOT with animals?
Question options:
DNA
Ribosomes
Chloroplasts
Mitochondria
Make a CONCLUSION
The Microorganisms that will be studied in this course includes representatives of all microscopic life forms except, the viruses. Both stained and living representatives will be examined. They exhibit diverse characteristics morphologically and nutritionally. Considerable variations can be found in their shape, cellular structure, types of motility and size. They can be autotrophic and heterotrophic; chlorophyll-free and chlorophyll containing; unicellular and multicellular; saprophytic and parasitic; and ranging from bacteria to algae, fungi and protozoa.
Some concepts of diversity of morphological types among organisms can be gained by careful microscopic examination of such specimen.

- __________ is unique to eukaryotes and permits organisms to be larger and allows specialization.arrow_forwardRead this passage from the lesson and answer the questions that follow. Domains The six-kingdom system didn't show that all four eukaryote kingdoms are more closely related to each other than to the two bacteria kingdoms. It also didn't show that the two bacteria kingdoms are as different from each other as they are from the eukaryote kingdoms. To show these similarities and differences, a new taxon, called the domain, was introduced. It was defined as a taxon higher than the kingdom. The Three-Domain System In 1990, a new classification system was introduced that contained three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. The Bacteria domain was formerly the Eubacteria kingdom, and the Archaea domain was formerly the Archaebacteria kingdom. The Eukarya domain includes all four eukaryote kingdoms: plants, animals, protists, and fungi. The three-domain system emphasizes the similarities among eukaryotes and the differences among eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea. By using domains, these…arrow_forwardIdentify the characteristics if it is prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. 1. It contains organelles that are membrane bounded 2. No histones 3.
