Before exploring some of the features of the different
types of eukaryotes, we should first review some of the
fundamental differences between eukaryotes and
prokaryotes. The two groups of organisms differ
fundamentally in the structure of their individual cells. For
each of the following statements, identify whether it
refers to prokaryotes, eukaryotes, or both groups. -
correct answer Prokaryotes only:-cell wall contains
peptidoglycan or pseudomurein-binary fission-70S
ribosomes-singular circular chromosome
Eukaryotes only:-membranous organelles, including
mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum-80S
ribosomes- nuclear envelope compartmentalizes the
chromosomes
Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes:-plasma membrane
encloses the cytoplasm-has both DNA and RNA-includes
unicellular cells
In this activity, you will identify whether the statements
describe arthropods, helminths, fungi, algae, or
protozoa.For each of the following statements, indicate
whether it is most appropriately applied to arthropods,
helminths, fungi, algae, or protozoa. - correct answer

-Members of this group are found predominantly in
aquatic environments.-Members of this group generally
don't cause infections, but some produce neurotoxins
that cause intoxications in animals that consume them.
Protozoa:
-Members of this group cause malaria and diarrheal
illnesses such as amebiasis and giardiasis.-Many
members of this group are motile by means of cilia,
flagella, or pseudopods.
Fungi:
-Members of this group produce a variety of different
reproductive spores and filaments referred to as hyphae.-
This group includes unicellular as well as filamentous
forms, a number of which cause infections.
Helminths:
-Members of this group come in flat or round forms, and
although many parasitize animals, there are also free-
living forms.-Parasitic members of this group often have
complex life cycles involving one or more intermediate
hosts in which larvae develop.
Arthropods:
