Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotes such as fungi, protozoa, plants, and animals, and thus we humans, have cells with complex structure (Figure 1) with internal membranes and membrane-bounded organelles. These include the chromosome-containing nucleus surrounded by a nuclear envelope consisting of two membranes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell’s DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae. Eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotic cells are cells containing membrane-bound organelles and are the basis for both unicellular and multicellular organisms. In contrast, prokaryotic cells do not have any membrane-bound organelles and are always part of unicellular organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotic cells contain many membrane-enclosed, large, complex organelles in the cytoplasm whereas prokaryotic cells do not contain these membrane-bound organelles.
