Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic cells are characterised by the presence of a well-defined nucleus and the membrane-bound organelles. They are larger and much more complex than prokaryotic cells which lack a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Two examples of eukaryotic cells are plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotes, and the DNA is linear and found within a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells boast their own personal “power plants”, called mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Additionally, eukaryotic cells are more than 100 to 10, 000 times larger than prokaryotic cells and are much more complex. The DNA in eukaryotes is stored within the nucleus, while DNA is stored in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotic have a more complex cell structure due to compartmentalisation of organelles. So, they need a more complex process like mitosis which also divides the organelles and cytoplasm equally among the daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotic cells are much more complex than prokaryotic cells. They are larger and possess membrane bound organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. The human nerve cell depicted below is a eukaryotic cell.
