Other membrane-bound organelles present in eukaryotic cells include mitochondria and the
Golgi apparatus, while chloroplasts can be found in plants and algae.
Prokaryotic cells may contain primitive organelles.[14] Eukaryotes can be unicellular or
multicellular, with several cell types creating various types of tissue; prokaryotes are mainly
unicellular.
The most well-known eukaryotes are animals, plants, and fungus; other eukaryotes are
frequently referred to as protists .[15]
Eukaryotic cells are typically much larger than prokaryotic cells, with a volume 10,000 times
greater.[17] They have a variety of internal membrane-bound structures called organelles, as
well as a cytoskeleton composed of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments,
which play an important role in defining the cell's organization and shape.
During nuclear division, eukaryotic DNA is divided into numerous linear bundles called
chromosomes, which are separated by a microtubular spindle.
