Verified step by step guidance

Understand the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Identify the characteristics of each group listed in the problem: Eukarya, Archaea, Fungi, and Prions.

Recognize that Eukarya includes all eukaryotic organisms, which have complex cellular structures with a nucleus.

Note that Fungi are also eukaryotic organisms, characterized by their cell walls made of chitin and their ability to decompose organic matter.

Understand that Archaea are prokaryotic organisms, similar to bacteria, but with distinct genetic and biochemical differences. They often thrive in extreme environments.
