Solution

The organism that is a prokaryote among the options given is Escherichia coli.

Here's why:

  1. Prokaryotes are organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Their DNA is not contained within a nucleus. Instead, it is dispersed within the cell.

  2. Amoeba, Euglena, and Paramecium are all examples of eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes.

  3. Escherichia coli, often referred to as E. coli, is a type of bacteria, and bacteria are prokaryotes. Therefore, Escherichia coli is a prokaryote.
