  • Eukaryotes: Understanding Cells with Nuclei - Definition & Examples
    Organisms whose cells contain nuclei are called eukaryotes.

    Here's why:

    * Eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus that houses the cell's genetic material (DNA).

    * Prokaryotic cells (like bacteria and archaea) lack a nucleus and their DNA is located in a region called the nucleoid.

    So, all organisms whose cells have nuclei are classified as eukaryotes. This includes a vast range of life forms, from single-celled organisms like amoebas to complex multicellular organisms like plants, animals, and fungi.
