Eukaryotic cells can differ from each other in terms of size, shape, function, and the organelles they contain. Different eukaryotic cells have specialized structures that enable them to perform specific functions. Additionally, eukaryotic cells can vary in the number and arrangement of organelles, impacting their overall structure and capabilities.

Yeast, plants, and animals are all composed of eukaryotic cells, which are characterized by having a true nucleus that houses their genetic material, along with various membrane-bound organelles that perform specific functions. Unicellular organisms like yeast consist of a single eukaryotic cell, while multicellular organisms such as plants and animals are made up of numerous eukaryotic cells that work together to perform complex functions. These cells enable the organisms to carry out essential processes such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
perform more complex functions and exhibit greater diversity in their cellular activities compared to prokaryotes. Organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts enable eukaryotic cells to carry out specialized processes such as energy production and photosynthesis. The nucleus also provides a protected environment for DNA, allowing for more efficient transcription and regulation of gene expression.
Eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus that houses their DNA, allowing for more complex and organized genetic regulation compared to prokaryotes, which lack a nucleus. Eukaryotes also have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, which enable them to perform more specialized functions like aerobic respiration and photosynthesis. Additionally, eukaryotic cells are generally larger and more structurally complex than prokaryotic cells, allowing for greater diversity in cell types and multicellular organisms.
Organelles enable a cell to carry out metabolism. They perform the same functions as organs in a human: digestion (lysosomes), ATP synthesis (mitochondria), control of cell processes / 'thinking' (nucleus), protection and regulation of diffusion (cell membrane). In short, they enable a cell to carry out its job.
The structures allow the cell to perform specific functions.
Specialized cells have unique structures that allow them to carry out specific functions efficiently. For example, red blood cells are specialized for oxygen transport due to their biconcave shape and lack of a nucleus, allowing for more space to carry oxygen molecules. Similarly, muscle cells have specialized proteins like actin and myosin that enable contractions for movement.
