- From the first eukaryotic cells to the first multicellular organisms, to plants to flowering trees, like the world got more and more and more alive.
- This is how you go from single cell eukaryotic to prokaryotic or the other way around.
- Not bacteria, but single celled eukaryotic organisms and more larger and more complex cells that make up bodies like ours, things like paramecia.
- When you went from the prokaryotes to eukaryotic cells and then they started making groups and when you make a certain group, you make a you, you make it sound.

eukaryotic = eukaryote (semi-transparent) = eu + kary + ic
The adjectival formation from the noun 'eukaryote' using the productive '-ic' is regular and predictable.
Etymology
Eukaryotic comes from the Greek parts eu- meaning 'good' or 'true' and karyon meaning 'nut' or 'kernel', like the English word kernel. So a eukaryotic cell is a cell with a 'true kernel' — a nucleus wrapped in a membrane, which is why eukaryotic organisms have cells with a clear nucleus and other internal parts.
