Eukaryotic Cells
Cells in which the nucleus is enclosed by a definite nuclear membrane are called eukaryotic cells. These cells also show a range of membrane-bound cell organelles, unlike prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells make up the bodies of protists, plants, animals and fungi.
Although eukaryotic cells differ widely in shape, size and physiology depending on the organism and tissue, they are all typically built from the same basic components: a plasma membrane, cytoplasm and its organelles -- including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes and the Golgi complex, among others -- and a true, membra …
What this figure shows. A labelled diagram of a generalised plant cell showing the cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus with its nucleolus, a large central vacuole bounded by the vacuole (tonoplast) membrane, chloroplasts, an amyloplast holding a starch grain, mitochondria, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, a Golgi apparatus with its vesicles, riboso …
What this figure shows. A labelled diagram of a generalised animal cell showing the plasma (cell) membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus with its nucleolus, mitochondria, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, a Golgi apparatus with its vesicles, ribosomes, a lysosome, a pinocytotic vesicle, and centrioles with microtubules -- notably without the cell wall, plastid …
