Eukaryotic cells have the following structures: Nucleus A double-membraned organelle that stores the cell's DNA and controls cellular activities. The nucleus is the largest organelle in the cell and is surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Mitochondria Organelles that produce the majority of the cell's energy through cellular respiration. Mitochondria have a double membrane structure, with an outer membrane and an inner membrane. Membrane A structure that separates the cell's nucleus and organelles from each other, and the cell itself from the outside environment. Ribosomes Present in...

Membrane A structure that separates the cell's nucleus and organelles from each other, and the cell itself from the outside environment. Ribosomes Present in eukaryotic cells for protein synthesis. Cytoplasm A gel-like fluid inside the cell that suspends cell organelles and structures. Cytoskeleton A complex network of interlinking filaments throughout the cell. The cytoskeleton is made up of three major components: microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Cilia and flagella Motile structures that play important roles in many different circumstances where motion on a cellular level is required. Eukaryotic cells also have a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. They are typically larger than prokaryotic cells and have other membrane-bound organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions. Show less
