Detailed explanation-1: -You will know the cell you are looking at under the microscope is a eukaryote if you see a nucleus. This is the main distinguishing feature of eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Nucleus & Its Structures Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus, which means the cell’s DNA is surrounded by a membrane. Therefore, the nucleus houses the cell’s DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes, the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -How do I tell if a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic by looking at it? Look for the nucleus of the cell. Eukaryotes have a nucleus; prokaryotes don’t.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are only found in eukaryotic cells. This is also true of other membrane-bound structures like the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus (more on these later).
