What are prokaryotic organisms?

Back

Prokaryotic organisms are unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria, which are classified under the kingdom Monera.

Front

What is the primary language used for scientific classification?

Back

Monera and Fungi are known to act as decomposers, breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients in ecosystems.

Front

What type of protist is Euglena classified as?

Back

Euglena is classified as a plant-like protist because it can perform photosynthesis due to the presence of chloroplasts.

Front

What kingdom do bacteria belong to?

Back
