A eukaryotic cell is a type of cell characterized by the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Unlike prokaryotic cells, which lack a defined nucleus, eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus that houses genetic material (DNA).
These cells are found in organisms belonging to the domain Eukaryota, encompassing plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
Eukaryotic cells are more structurally complex than prokaryotic cells, with organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus, facilitating specialized functions and compartmentalizing cellular processes.
