Eukaryotic cells has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes like the prokaryotic cells. However, unlike the prokaryotic cell, the eukaryotic cell a membrane-bound nucleus, numerous membrane –bound organelle, and several rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus is the prominent organelle in the cell. The eukaryotic cell has a “true nucleus” which means that the cell’s DNA is surrounded by a membrane. The nucleus houses the DNA and directs the synthesis of protein (protein synthesis) and ribosomes. The nuclear envelope is a double-stranded structure that constitute the outer most portion of the nucleus. Both the inner and outer membrane of the nuclear envelope are phospholipid bilayer. The nuclear envelope is punctuated with pores that control the passage of ions and molecules and RNA between the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm. Nucleoplasm is a semi-solid fluid inside the nucleus where we find the chromatin and the nucleus. Chromosomes are structures within the nucleus that are made up of genetic material. In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes are linear structures. Other membrane bound organelles like the mitochondria are oval shaped, double membrane organelle that have their own ribosome and DNA. They are called the “energy factory” and are responsible for making ATP and are important for cellular respiration. The Endoplasmic Reticulum modifies proteins and synthesizes lipid. The Golgi apparatus sorts, tags, packages, and distributes lipid and proteins. Vesicles and vacuole are both membrane-bound sacs that store energy. These are a few of the organelles that are found in eukaryotic cells.
