Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are eukaryotes (IPA: /juːˈkærɪɒt/), organisms whose cells are organized into complex structures by internal membranes. The most characteristic membrane-bound structure is the nucleus. The presence of a nucleus gives these organisms their name: which comes from the Greek ευ, meaning good/true, and κάρυον, meaning nut, referring to the nucleus. Many eukaryotic cells contain other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts and Golgi bodies. Eukaryotes often have unique flagella made of microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement.
