Eukaryotic Cell
Form and Functions of Internal Structures
Eukaryotic Cell
A eukaryote is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes. The Membrane-bound organelles are extensive enough to account for 60% to 80% of a single cells volume. Eukaryotic cells are much larger than prokaryotes.
Cell Division
Eukaryotic cells go through cell division known as mitosis (One cell divides to create two identical cells). Like every living organism, sexual reproduction is required.
Some of our Internal Structures
Nucleus
The Control Center. Compact sphere within a eukaryotic cell. Site for RNA synthesis.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Microscopic series of tunnels used in transport and storage.
Mitochondria
Where biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers
