What else can I help you with?
Are all prokaryotes harmful?
No, the vast majority of prokaryotes are not harmful.
Does prokaryotes have liquid crytoplasm?

What did eukaryotes most evolve from?
Eukaryotes most likely evolved from prokaryotes.
What are Single celled organisms that have no organized nuclei called?
Single-celled organisms that do not have organized nuclei are called prokaryotes. These organisms are simple in structure and lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Examples of prokaryotes include bacteria and archaea.

yes prokaryotes have prokaryotes
What are the key characteristics of eukaryotic organisms and how do they differ from prokaryotes?
Eukaryotic organisms have a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotes lack a nucleus and organelles. Eukaryotes are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotes, with a linear DNA structure and the ability to undergo sexual reproduction.
