Archaebacteria is probably more likely to be the ancestor of eukaryotes because of certain similarities, such as the ribosome of the two groups being much more similar to each other than the ribosomes of bacteria.
Cyanobacteria are believed to be the common ancestor of all photosynthetic plastids found in eukaryotes. Through a process called endosymbiosis, cyanobacteria were engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell, giving rise to plastids like chloroplasts. This event played a crucial role in the evolution of photosynthesis in eukaryotes.
Humans are classified as eukaryotes.
Protists are single-celled eukaryotes.
Eukaryotes can also be referred to as organisms with true nuclei.
Yes, eukaryotes have DNA as their genetic material.

Physiological similarities suggest the species evolved from the same ancestor.
Other eukaryotes may eat eukaryotes and some prokaryotes may eat eukaryotes.
Plants and animals share a common ancestor that was likely a unicellular, photosynthetic organism similar to modern-day green algae. This ancestor existed over a billion years ago, during the early evolution of eukaryotes. Through a process called endosymbiosis, some of these organisms developed the ability to perform photosynthesis, leading to the evolution of plants, while others evolved into various animal forms. Thus, the divergence between plants and animals began from this ancient common ancestor.
The most recent common ancestor of fungi and animals is believed to be a unicellular, flagellated organism that lived over a billion years ago. This ancestor is part of the Opisthokonta group, which includes both fungi and animals, indicating that they share a closer evolutionary relationship than with other eukaryotes. Genetic and molecular evidence supports this connection, highlighting key similarities in cellular structures and genetic makeup. This ancestor likely possessed traits that allowed for multicellularity, which evolved differently in the two lineages.
