Expert Solution

Step 1

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus (along with other membrane-bound organelles. These organisms, includes all animals, plants, fungi, and protists).

A prokaryote is a single-celled organism that doesn't have a nucleus.

The autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Autotrophs are capable of producing complex organic compounds (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) using carbon from simple substances (carbon dioxide). They are capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and use photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction (unicellular or multicellular organisms) inherit the full set of genes of their single parent).
