- <u>Eukaryotes</u> are organisms that contain more than one cell with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
- Organisms that contain only one cell and do not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles are known as <u>prokaryotes</u>.
Explanation:
According to their structural and functional complexity, organisms can be classified into eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
<em><u>Eukaryotic organisms</u></em><em> are formed by cells that have a true nucleus -where DNA is located- and specialized structures called organelles, with a system of endomembranes that compartmentalize the intracellular space. These organisms are usually pluricellular, given the ability of eukaryotic cells to group together to form tissues.
</em>
<em><u>Prokaryotic organisms</u></em><em> are single cells, lacking a nucleus - genetic material is scattered in the cytoplasm - and do not possess organelles. The prokaryotic cells that form these organisms are incapable of binding together, so they do not form tissues.</em>
Some unicellular organisms are prokaryotic cells, like some parasitic microorganisms, such as amoebas.
species richness_______ is the number of different species represented in an ecological community, landscape or region. _species richness, ______ is simply a count of species, and it does not take into account the abundances of the species or their relative abundance distributions.
