Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Review the characteristics of the listed organisms: Fungi, Animals, Plants, and Bacteria. Fungi, Animals, and Plants are composed of eukaryotic cells, as they all have a nucleus and complex cellular structures.
Recognize that Bacteria are composed of prokaryotic cells. They lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and their genetic material is found in a region called the nucleoid.
Recall that prokaryotic cells are simpler and smaller than eukaryotic cells, and they are typically found in organisms like Bacteria and Archaea.
Conclude that the correct answer is Bacteria, as it is the only organism in the list composed of prokaryotic cells.
