Many eukaryotic cells exhibit shape changes, with one of the most fascinating examples being the unicellular ciliated eukaryote Lacrymaria, known for its extraordinary dynamic shape-shifting.

Scientists Shocked To Discover Eukaryote With NO Mitochondria. For a long time it has been thought that all eukaryotes – organisms in which the DNA is enclosed in a membrane including almost all ...

With the appearance of the first eukaryote, the energetic and computational bottlenecks opened out, the resulting adaptation made the current environmental crises survivable, which was followed by ...

In prokaryote cell organization there is a nucleoid containing genomic DNA but it is not surrounded by membranes such as what defines the eukaryote nucleus (Martin & Koonin 2006). Eukaryotes such ...

This marine alga is the first known eukaryote to pull nitrogen from air. Until now, the only “nitrogen-fixing” organisms were thought to be prokaryotes such as bacteria ...

Every eukaryote on Earth evolved from a single endosymbiosis between a prokaryote host cell and the bacteria that became mitochondria. To my mind, this third option makes the most sense.

A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.
