Of the 6 kingdoms of life, which is (are) both single-celled and eukaryotic?
fungi
thank you
To determine which of the six kingdoms of life are both single-celled and eukaryotic, we can break down the characteristics of each kingdom and identify the ones that meet these criteria.
The six kingdoms are:
1. Bacteria (also known as Eubacteria)
2. Archaea (also known as Archaebacteria)
3. Protista
4. Fungi
5. Plantae
6. Animalia
Of these six, the kingdom that meets the criteria of being single-celled and eukaryotic is the kingdom Protista. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that include both single-celled and multicellular organisms. Examples of single-celled protists include amoebas, paramecia, and euglenas.
To find this answer, you would need to have a basic understanding of the characteristics and categorization of living organisms. Familiarity with the six kingdoms of life and their defining attributes is essential. Additionally, knowing that eukaryotes are organisms with cells that have a distinct nucleus enclosed within a membrane and that single-celled organisms consist of a single cell, helps in narrowing down the options.
