Tree Number(s): B01
Unique ID: D056890
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D056890
Annotation: do not confuse with EUKARYOTIC CELLS; specific algae and protozoa are located under various groups treed under Eukaryota
Scope Note: One of the three domains of life (the others being BACTERIA and ARCHAEA), also called Eukarya. These are organisms whose cells are enclosed in membranes and possess a nucleus. They comprise almost all multicellular and many unicellular organisms, and are traditionally divided into groups (sometimes called kingdoms) including ANIMALS; PLANTS; FUNGI; and various algae and other taxa that were previously part of the old kingdom Protista.
