Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a eukaryotic organism. It is a type of yeast that belongs to the domain Eukaryota, which includes all organisms with cells that have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Baker's yeast is eukaryotic. It is a single-celled fungi that belongs to the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast used in baking and brewing, is commonly found in natural habitats like the skins of fruits, on plant surfaces, and in soil. It is also present in the intestines of animals and insects.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae typically exists as a single-celled organism and forms round to oval-shaped cells. These cells can occur singly or in clusters depending on the growth conditions, but their most common arrangement is as individual yeast cells.
No, not all eukaryotic cells have plasmids. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are typically found in prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells primarily contain their genetic material within the nucleus and do not rely on plasmids for their genetic information.
The common name for Saccharomyces cerevisiae is baker's yeast.
