Types of eukaryotic cells

A simple explanation of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and their differences

This article examines the internal and external structures of prokaryotic cells. It provides an in-depth analysis of their reproductive behaviours, DNA and basic defence mechanisms.

Eukaryote, any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. The eukaryotic cell has a nuclear membrane that surrounds the nucleus, in which the well-defined chromosomes (bodies containing the hereditary material) are located. Learn more about eukaryotes in this article.

Cutaway schematic of a microbial eukaryote👇 📎Although all eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, not all organelles and other structures shown are present in all microbial eukaryotes. Not shown is the cell wall, found in fungi, algae, plants, and a few protists.

All living organisms fall into one of two categories: Eukaryotes (plants, animals, and fungi) or Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea). Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that don’t have a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles.

A plant cell is the basic unit of all plants. Plant cells, like animal cells, are eukaryotic, meaning they have a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. Their characteristic cell wall is composed of cellulose, and they contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
