What does a Eukaryotic Cell have, and why was it so important to the cells?

Answer 1

If you're looking for a single answer, I'd say nucleus. The nucleus is important to the cell because it controls the activities of the cell.

More accurately, the eukaryotic cell has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. This is important because these organelles are little enclosed spaces that can be doing all different kinds of jobs at the same time. They don't get their enzymes all mixed up together or interfere with each other. The cell can run much more efficiently like this. It's pretty much the same reason why you have classes in different classrooms instead of having all the classes meet together in the cafeteria -- all mixed together and everyone talking at once. Not a good plan.

Answer 2

A Eukaryotic cell has many membrane bound structures inside it, such as a nucleus and a mitochondrion. These are called organelles. These organelles make it easy to identify, because a prokaryotic cell does not have them. They also provide structural support and cellular motility. The Eukaryotic cell is important because it makes up all life except those from the kingdom of Monera. Hope this helps. :)
