Microbiology

• Organism


  A living thing that is capable of maintaining its own vital functions, such as metabolism, growth, and response to stimuli.
• Eukaryotes


  Eukaryotes are organisms with membrane-bound organelles, a true nucleus, linear chromosomes, a cell cycle, and multi-membraned endoplasmic reticulum.
• Eukaryotes vs Prokaryotes


  Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles, a true nucleus, and a larger size, whereas prokaryotes lack these features and are generally smaller.
