Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of cell has a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles?
A
Eukaryotic
B
Prokaryotic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Eukaryotic cells like plant cell and animal cells contain a well defined nucleus and have all the membrane bound organelles. E.g., Golgi bodies, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Whereas prokaryotic cells like bacterial cells do not contain membrane bound cell organelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Eukaryotic cells contain several membrane-bound structures, or organelles, which are specialized cellular subunits that carry out specific cellular functions. The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane, also called the nuclear envelope, which protects the genetic material stored inside.
