Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the definition of prokaryotes: Prokaryotes are organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is not enclosed within a nuclear envelope.
Review the characteristics of the kingdoms listed in the options: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Fungi, and Protista. Identify which of these kingdoms consist of organisms that are prokaryotic.
Recall that Eubacteria and Archaebacteria are the two kingdoms that consist entirely of prokaryotic organisms. Eubacteria are commonly referred to as 'true bacteria,' while Archaebacteria are known for living in extreme environments.
Understand that Fungi and Protista are eukaryotic kingdoms. Fungi include organisms like molds and mushrooms, while Protista includes diverse eukaryotic organisms such as algae and protozoa.
Conclude that the correct answer is the option that lists Eubacteria and Archaebacteria, as these are the only kingdoms containing prokaryotic organisms.
