Structure of Eukaryotic Cell Prepared by : Shivang Patel
Introduction A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. Eukaryotic cells have an organized nucleus with a nuclear envelope . They have a "brain" for the cell. They have a discreet area where they keep their DNA. It is also said that they have a "true nucleus." Although limited in size, eukaryotic cells can get very large. There are even some extreme examples called plasmodial slime molds that can be a meter wide. Eukaryotic cells have organelles and organized DNA so, they are able to create parts. One example is the flagellum (a tail-like structure to help it move).
Structure External Structures : Flagella Cilia Glaycocalyx Cell – Wall Cytoplasmic Membrane Internal Structure : Nucleus Control Center Endoplasmic Reticulum: A Passageway into the Cell: Golgi Apparatus: A Packaging and Distribution Machine: Lysosymes Vacuoles Mitochondria: Energy Generators of the Cell: Chloroplasts: Photosynthesis Machines: Ribosome: Protein Synthesizers: Cytoskeleton
Summary EUKARYOTES: They are the cells that have helped organisms advance to new levels of specialization beyond imagination. You wouldn't be here if eukaryotic cells did not exist.
