ulëtaqelizat
Ulëtaqelizat are a hypothetical class of cells described in speculative biology and in science fiction narratives as a distinct lineage of eukaryotic cells. The term is used to explore ideas about cellular complexity and the origins of organelles, and it does not correspond to a recognized group in mainstream biology. In many accounts, ulëtaqelizat are positioned between simple protist-like cells and more complex eukaryotes, sharing a compact body plan with a reduced set of internal membranes.
Anatomy and physiology: The cell is bounded by a flexible plasma membrane and contains a single nucleus-like
Reproduction and life cycle: Ulëtaqelizat are usually described as reproducing asexually by binary fission. Some depictions
Ecology and significance: In fictional settings, ulëtaqelizat inhabit diverse environments such as anoxic sediments or subsurface
