- It's same exact steps, but it can get more crowded as we get closer to eukaryotes, for instance.
- But they are living, breathing eukaryotes.
- So, you know, we commonly think of eukaryotes in the gut as, as you know, something like a parasite.

Synonyms

Morphology
eukaryote = karyote (opaque) = eu + kary + ote
The parts are Greek scientific combining forms ('eu-' and 'kary-') that are unfamiliar to average learners, so the meaning is not derivable by a typical B1 learner.
Etymology
Eukaryote comes from Greek parts eu- meaning 'true' or 'good' and karyon meaning 'kernel' or 'nut', so imagine a small kernel sitting inside each cell. So a eukaryote is an organism whose cells have a clear, separate 'nucleus' like a protected kernel inside the cell.
