The microorganisms that do not have a nucleus in their cells are ALL called:
a
algae
b
prokaryotes
c
decomposers
d
eukaryotes
b) prokaryotes
The correct answer is b) prokaryotes.
The microorganisms that do not have a nucleus in their cells are called prokaryotes. To determine the correct answer to this multiple-choice question, you need to understand the characteristics of microorganisms.
Microorganisms can be classified into two main categories based on the presence or absence of a nucleus: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotes are more complex organisms with a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Looking at the given options, we can eliminate options (a) algae, (c) decomposers, and (d) eukaryotes because these terms do not specifically refer to microorganisms without a nucleus. Algae are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, decomposers can be either prokaryotes or eukaryotes, and eukaryotes are microorganisms with a nucleus.
This leaves us with option (b) prokaryotes, which is the correct answer. Prokaryotes include bacteria and archaea, which are examples of microorganisms that lack a nucleus in their cells.
