eucaryote
Cell with nucleus
Eucaryote is an alternate spelling of eukaryote—an organism whose cells contain a nucleus enclosed within a membrane.
Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are all eucaryotes, distinguished from prokaryotes like bacteria.
The spelling with a c reflects the Greek root more directly, though the k spelling now dominates in scientific writing.
