NEET BIOLOGY

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 prokaryotic cells. They all have a cell membrane, ribosomes, and DNA as prokaryotic cells do. However, the DNA of eukaryotic cells does not float freely in the cytoplasm. Instead, it is found in the nucleus, an internal compartment bound by a cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger and more complex than prokaryotic. Because of their larger size, they require a variety of specialized internal membrane-bound organelles to carry out metabolism, provide energy, and transport chemicals throughout the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles (such as the nucleus and mitochondria), while prokaryotic cells do not.
