Yes.
Living things have evolved into three large clusters of closely related organisms, called "domains": Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryota. Archaea and Bacteria are small, relatively simple cells surrounded by a membrane and a cell wall, with a circular strand of DNA containing their genes. They are called prokaryotes.
Virtually all the life we see each day - including plants and animals - belongs to the third domain, Eukaryota. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotes, and the DNA is linear and found within a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells boast their own personal "power plants", called mitochondria. These tiny organelles in the cell not only produce chemical energy, but also hold the key to understanding the evolution of the eukaryotic cell.
The complex eukaryotic cell ushered in a whole new era for life on Earth, because these cells evolved into multicellular organisms. But how did the eukaryotic cell itself evolve? How did a humble bacterium make this evolutionary leap from a simple prokaryotic cell to a more complex eukaryotic cell? The answer seems to be symbiosis - in other words, teamwork.
Evidence supports the idea that eukaryotic cells are actually the descendents of separate prokaryotic cells that joined together in a symbiotic union. In fact, the mitochondrion itself seems to be the "great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter" of a free-living bacterium that was engulfed by another cell, perhaps as a meal, and ended up staying as a sort of permanent houseguest. The host cell profited from the chemical energy the mitochondrion produced, and the mitochondrion benefited from the protected, nutrient-rich environment surrounding it. This kind of "internal" symbiosis - one organism taking up permanent residence inside another and eventually evolving into a single lineage - is called endosymbiosis.

This is what wikipedia has to say: "Although no mechanism for their development, presumably from prokaryotic cells, has been suggested, the origin of the eukaryotic cell is considered a milestone in the evolution of life, since they include all complex cells and almost all multi-cellular organisms".

No, the first cell originate on earth are prokaryotic in nature . because from the evolutionary point of view complex and sophisticated organism s are produced from the simple form of organisms, that is why we can assume first life on earth were prokaryotes.
the ablility to absorb other cells gave a survival advantage

plants
The first true cells were prokaryotic cells. These were simple life-forms that didn't have a nucleus. The next to evolve were eukaryotic cells which do have a nucleus.
Eukaryotic cells
Eukaryotic cells contain organelles that are enclosed in membranes
There are quite a few differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do. Prokaryotic cells are not found in humans while eukaryotic cells are. Prokaryotic cells are primitive while eukaryotic cells are much more evolved.
Plants are considered to be eukaryotic organisms. The main difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells is the presence of membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells.

Yes kelps do have eukaryotic cells. All living things have eukaryotic cells.
are taste bud cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic
No. Only the eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
Eukaryotic cells
The cells found in the human body are eukaryotic cells. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular like humans. Organisms that have prokaryotic cells are usually unicelluar, like bacteria.
all cells that have a nucleus are eukaryotic.
Yes , skin cells are eukaryotic .
No. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, not eukaryotic. The eukaryotic cells are mostly represented by plant and animal cells.
Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells have cell membranes.
