19. Eukaryote

This is a picture of orchids. Orchids represent eukaryotes. A eukaryote is an organism that consists of a cell or cells in which the genetic material (DNA) is contained in a nucleus. An orchid is a plant, whose cells contain a variety of organelles (subunits within a cell that have a specific function). One of these organelles is a nucleus which stores genetic material. Eukaryotes include animals, plants, fungus, protists, and some bacteria.
