GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed within the nuclear membrane and form large and complex organisms. Protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals all have eukaryotic cells. They are classified under the kingdom Eukaryota.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria. The nucleus of eukaryotic cells is similar to the brain of the cell. It contains the genetic information (DNA) and directs the cell how to function.

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: -Like prokaryotic cells, all eukaryotic cells are surrounded by plasma membranes and contain ribosomes. However, eukaryotic cells are much more complex and contain a nucleus, a variety of cytoplasmic organelles, and a cytoskeleton (Figure 1.7).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
