What allows a cell to change its shape and move its organelles?
microtubules
Why do eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles?
Membranous organelles are called membranous because the membranes form as boundaries that bound the organelles.Refer to link below.
What characteristics of Eukaryotic cells gives them greater capacity for specialization than Prokaryotic cell have?
There are a couple answers I can think of at the moment. One is that eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles. This allows eukaryotes to produce more of that organelle in order to adapt to the cells needs. For instance, a muscle cell will have many more mitochondria than a epithelial cell. Eukaryotes are also much bigger than prokaryotes, leaving room for this specialization. The final way is DNA organization. The circular DNA of bacteria can encode for a limited number proteins. Plasmids can expand this a little, but it still pretty tiny compared to the capacity of eukaryotic chromosomes.
Are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells similar?
No, they are not... an example would be this; a type of prokaryote is bacteria, a type of eukaryote is a wolf (animals are classified as a eukaryote) Obviously the wolf is bigger than the bacteria.
Why is DNA located on the nucleus?
Technically, DNA isn't ONLY found in the nucleus, depending on what organism we're talking about. Prokaryotic organisms usually have their DNA in something called the nucleoid, which isn't the same thing. Just as well, many bacteria utilize plasmids, which are small loops of DNA that can actually be moved from bacteria to bacteria. But if we're talking about eukaryotes, the reason is because the DNA is pretty important. In eukaryotes, there's a TON of it, and if any of it gets damaged, it's going to result in all future daughters cells being defective as well (this is why cancer spreads). So in order to keep DNA safe, it stays in the nucleus. When the cell needs some information off of the DNA, like to make protein, then the cell will make RNA, which is basically a copy of whatever information is needed. This ensures that the DNA is safe from any dangers outside of the nucleus while the RNA copies do all the work.

Why do eukaryotes have a nucleus and a prokaryote does not?
There is no true answer, only theories. It goes that the cell membrane in the early eukaryotes invaginated towards the nucleus more and more over time and finally just created a nuclear envelope in the cell. This allows the eukaryotic cell to control what molecules and proteins can enter and exit the nucleus via nuclear pores. The eukaryotes and prokaryotes split off in the evolution chain because a nucleus has advantages and having no nucleus has advantages too.

What do organelles allows cells to do?
Organelles allow the cell to grow, live, and reproduce
What does the cytoplasm do for plant cells?
Cytoplasm holds all the organelles in place.
Function of nucleus pore?
It allows RNA, that is transcribed from a DNA in the nucleus, to leave the the nucleus.
Whats the nuclear membrane?
# The nuclear membrane is a thin membrane covering an animal cell. It holds in the cytoplasm, which in turn contains the organelles and nucleus of the cell. The cell membrane also allows the exchange of nutrients and oxygen/CO2.
Is the nucleus part of the nuclear membrane?
Yes. The nuclear membrane includes the nucleus. It allows movement into and out of the nucleus.

Which characstics allows you to recognize a cell in interphase?
the nucleus intact
What is the essential organelle that plant and algae cells possess that other eukaryotes do not that allows them to perform photosynthesis?
chloroplast
