Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, Golgi complex, etc. The cell organelles and nucleus is embedded in the cytoplasm. The cell is covered with the plasma membrane. They have rod-shaped chromosomes, inside the nucleus which is covered by a nuclear membrane. They contain DNA as the genetic material and proteins in the nucleoplasm. The nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell as it synthesizes energy-rich molecule ATP. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) carries out modification of proteins and synthesis of lipids. There is two type of ER, namely rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER has ribosomes on its membrane. Golgi apparatus carries out sorting, tagging, packaging, and distribution of lipids and proteins. Peroxisomes carry out oxidation reactions that break down fatty acids and amino acids. Vesicles and vacuoles are storage organelles. Apart from these organelles, the animal cell contains lysosomes and centrosomes. Plant cells have a cell wall and plastids like chloroplast which are absent in animal cells.
