Plastids, or small rings of DNA that can be exchanged between bacteria. Rather than containing an entire genome, they just contain certain genes-often useful ones for resistance to antibiotics, etc.
All organisms in the archaebacteria kingdom are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They also have unique cell membrane structures and live in extreme environments.
Mitochondria have two membranes because they are believed to have originated from a symbiotic relationship between a primitive eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell. The outer membrane helps protect the organelle, while the inner membrane contains proteins essential for energy production through cellular respiration. This unique structure allows mitochondria to generate ATP, the cell's main energy source, through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
they do not have a membrane-enclosed nucleus
Organisms in the domain Archaea are considered to share the fewest characteristics with other organisms. They have unique cellular structures and biochemical properties that distinguish them from bacteria and eukaryotes.
Discicristates is a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that includes organisms like Giardia and Trichomonas. They are characterized by having a reduced or absent mitochondrion and lack typical mitochondrial features. Many members of Discicristates are anaerobic and have unique features in their cellular structure and reproduction.
Bacteria are placed in a kingdom by themselves, called Monera, because they are prokaryotic organisms with unique characteristics that separate them from other organisms with nuclei. They have a simple cellular structure lacking membrane-bound organelles and a true nucleus, making them distinct from eukaryotic organisms.
Organisms are grouped into a five-kingdom classification system based on their structure and characteristics such as cell type (prokaryotic or eukaryotic), mode of nutrition (autotrophic or heterotrophic), and body organization. The five kingdoms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Each kingdom represents a different group of organisms with unique traits and evolutionary relationships.
No, fungi are not non-cellular. They are eukaryotic organisms composed of multiple cells. Fungi are unique in that they have cell walls made of chitin, a complex carbohydrate.
Archaea are single-celled organisms with a simple cell structure. They lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria. Their cell walls are often made of unique molecules like pseudopeptidoglycan or S-layer proteins.

Molecules based on carbon are the major components of living organisms. These organic molecules include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, which are essential for cellular structure and functions in organisms. Carbon's unique ability to form diverse bonds allows for the complexity and diversity of life on Earth.
An eubacterium is not an eukaryote but rather a prokaryote. What distinguishes prokaryotes from eukaryotes is that prokaryotes do not have nuclei in which their DNA is stored, while eukaryotes do have nuclei.
In eukaryotic cells, most genetic information is stored within the nucleus. Mitochondria within the cell also have unique genetic information. In prokaryotic cells, genetic information is in an area called the nucleolus.
