Here's why:
* Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a true nucleus, which contains their genetic material (DNA).
* Prokaryotes, on the other hand, are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Their DNA is located in a region called the nucleoid, but it's not enclosed within a membrane.
So, any single-celled organism you find that has a nucleus is classified as a eukaryote. Examples include:
* Protozoa (like amoebas and paramecia)
* Algae (like diatoms and seaweed)
* Yeasts (a type of fungi)
