Characteristics of Eukaryotic Cells

A eukaryotic cell has a true membrane-bound nucleus and has other membranous organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions.

The Plasma Membrane and the Cytoplasm

The plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer that regulates the concentration of substances that can permeate a cell.

The Nucleus and Ribosomes

Found within eukaryotic cells, the nucleus contains the genetic material that determines the entire structure and function of that cell.

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are organelles that are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy-carrying molecule.
