Answer: Daytime soap operas

Actress Sheryl *Lynn* Herring is known for her roles in U.S. daytime soap operas. She first appeared on "General Hospital" in 1986 as a quiet librarian named Lucy Coe. The character "Lucy" eventually became much more assertive and glamorous, and began to make herself more available to the attentions of men.

Lynn's next role was on "Days Of Our Lives", although her character never was fully developed, so she asked to be released from her contract. The producers agreed, and she then returned yet once again to the set of "General Hospital".

Later, she played a role on "Port Charles", a spin-off of "General Hospital", in her role as Lucy Coe. The program suffered from weak ratings, and eventually she returned yet again to the cast of "General Hospital".

In 2009, she joined the cast of "As The World Turns" as the character Audrey Coleman, but yet once again, in 2012, she returned to the soap opera "General Hospital".

Answer: she was known for her work as an American biologist

Lynn Margulis was an American biologist. I wasn't kidding when I said "let's figure this one out together", because I have very little clue as to her work or what it even means!

Let's begin with the parts that I don't understand:

The word "eukaryotes" has something to do with an organism whose cells contain a nucleus along with other "organelles" that are enclosed within membranes.
"Organelles" are units within a cell that performs a specific function. The name comes from the same source as the word "organ", because an organelle acts within the cell as an organ acts in the human body.

Please! Don't ask me to explain further! I don't get it, either.
Maybe, though, if you have a degree in biology ...
