Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic cells contain many membrane-enclosed, large, complex organelles in the cytoplasm whereas prokaryotic cells do not contain these membrane-bound organelles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Organells increase the complexity of the eukaryotic cell in respect to prokaryotic cells since prokaryotes do not have organelles. Having organelles allows for the sequestration of harmful metabolic reactions and the delineation of function to site specific enzymes, instead of general cytoplasmic enzymes.

Detailed explanation-4: -How do organelles allow for increased complexity in cells? Be enclosing the parts of the cell inside a membrane there are more possibilities. With the membrane isolating off different areas can create different conditions and regions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The structure of plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.
