Microbes

CELLULAR LEVEL

Although many different life forms exist among Eukaryotes, they share a similar complex structure at a cellular level. Eukaryotic cells contain a true nucleus where DNA is found. Examples of eukaryotes include all plants, animals, and fungi. The organisms in Domains Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotic, meaning that their cells do not have a true nucleus, but rather have a nuclear region.
