Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are often found in bacteria but are not typically present in eukaryotes. These extrachromosomal elements can carry genes that provide bacteria with advantageous traits, such as antibiotic resistance. While some eukaryotic cells can harbor similar structures, they do not possess plasmids in the same way that bacteria do. Thus, plasmids are primarily associated with prokaryotic organisms.

How are Archaea more closely related to eukaryotes than to bacteria?

Arche bacteria are much closer to eukaryotes.Bacteria also have some similarities. NO. Archaea, Bacteria and Eukaryota. Bacteria are more closely related to the more complex organisms (Eukaryotes). Archaea are now considered in their own domain. The Archaea in plankton are the most abundant organism on the planet.


Are both bacteria and fungi multicellular?

yes they are also some fungi is yummy too!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Can bacteria have the ability to make their own food?

Some bacteria can, but most bacteria are decomposers with means they eat the dead things such as dead flowers,animals,and sometimes human,buts that's a different subject.


What are the 7 kingdom in organisms Ĺ?

The seven kingdoms of organisms are classified as follows: Archaea (prokaryotic microorganisms that are distinct from bacteria), Bacteria (single-celled prokaryotic organisms), Protista (mostly unicellular eukaryotes), Fungi (multicellular or unicellular eukaryotes that absorb nutrients), Plantae (multicellular eukaryotes that perform photosynthesis), Animalia (multicellular eukaryotes that are heterotrophic), and Chromista (a group that includes some algae and other related organisms). This classification helps to understand the vast diversity of life forms on Earth.


Is cryptosporidium a virus fungus or bacteria?

It's neither.. its considered apart of the protist kingdom. Fungi have their own kingdom as does bacteria, animals, archaea and plants. Plants, Animals, Fungi and Protists are all called Eukaryotes because they all are similar in that they all have a nucleus and things called "membrane bound organelles". They are generally considered more complex then Archaea and Bacteria. The amazing thing about Eukaryotes is that originally they were once bacteria as well. However millions of years ago a bacteria engulfed another bacteria which kept living inside the other bacteria and released nutrients from inside the bacteria which actually helped it survive. That original bacteria turned into the "membrane bound organelles" we find in eukaryotes today!!!!!! The nucleus of the eukaryotes (which bacteria and archaea dont have) may have arisen from an engulfed virus but we still dont know if that is correct. :S Some Protists can cause infection while most don't.

Is Conjugation a process carried out by bacteria and eukaryotes or eukaryotes only?

Conjugation is a process carried out by both bacteria and certain eukaryotic organisms, such as fungi and some protists. It involves the transfer of genetic material (such as plasmids or DNA fragments) between two individuals.

In what locations can proteasome be located?

Proteasomes are protein complexes. These protein complexes are present in eukaryotes, some bacteria and in archaea. The proteasomes are located in the nucleus and the cytoplasm when looking at eukaryotes.


How do some scientists think that the first eukaryotes evolved?

By various bacteria ingesting but not digesting other bacteria, most likely the precursors of mitochondria (and/or chloroplasts).


Is eukarya single celled or multi called?

Bacteria tend to be single celled organisms.

What eats eukaryotes?

Other eukaryotes may eat eukaryotes and some prokaryotes may eat eukaryotes.


Do all bacteria have flagellum?

Compare and contrast prokayotes and eukaryotes?

Prokaryotes are older, more basic in function and shape, do not contain a true nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles, unicellular (for the most part - some bacteria have multicellular stages in their life), and consist of bacteria and archae (old bacteria). Eukaryotes can be uni- or multi-cellular, have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, are generally more complex in shape and function, much larger than prokaryotes and evolved later in history. These are just some basic comparisons.


Are chloroplasts found in prokaryotes?

No, chloroplasts are not found in prokaryotes. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and some protists, and they are believed to have originated from ancient symbiotic cyanobacteria that were engulfed by a eukaryotic cell. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, do not have chloroplasts.
