Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes are a group of organisms whose cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. This group includes animals, plants, fungi, and protists. Unlike prokaryotes, such as bacteria, eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more complex, allowing for specialized functions. This complexity enables eukaryotes to form multicellular organisms, like humans and trees, with diverse structures and functions. Eukaryotes play crucial roles in ecosystems, contribute to food webs, and are essential for biodiversity. Their ability to adapt and evolve has made them a dominant form of life on Earth.
