Scope note: Uno de los tres dominios de la vida (los otros son BACTERIA y ARCHAEA), denominado también Eukarya. Éstos son organismos cuyas células están rodeadas de membrana y poseen núcleo. Coprenden casi todos los organismos multicelulares y muchos unicelulares y tradicionalmente se dividen en grupos (a veces denominados reinos) que incluyen los ANIMALES, PLANTAS, HONGOS y diversas ALGAS así como otros grupos taxonómicos que previamente fueron incluidos en el antiguo reino Protista.

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.
Annotation: do not confuse with EUKARYOTIC CELLS; specific algae and protozoa are located under various groups treed under Eukaryota
