Why are animals Eukaryotic?

Answer 1

Eukaryotic cells are about 15 times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as 1000 times greater in volume. The major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound compartments in which specific metabolic activities take place. Most important among these is acell nucleus, a membrane-delineated compartment that houses the eukaryotic cell's DNA. This nucleus gives the eukaryote its name, which means "true nucleus." Other differences include:

• The plasma membrane resembles that of prokaryotes in function, with minor differences in the setup. Cell walls may or may not be present.
• The eukaryotic DNA is organized in one or more linear molecules, called chromosomes, which are associated withhistone proteins. All chromosomal DNA is stored in the cell nucleus, separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Some eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria also contain some DNA.
• Many eukaryotic cells are ciliated with primary cilia. Primary cilia play important roles in chemosensation,mechanosensation, and thermosensation. Cilia may thus be "viewed as sensory cellular antennae that coordinate a large number of cellular signaling pathways, sometimes coupling the signaling to ciliary motility or alternatively to cell division and differentiation."[7]
• Eukaryotes can move using motile cilia or flagella. The flagella are more complex than those of prokaryotes.

Answer 2

Eukaryotic cells have whats called a cyctoskeleton, which gives them rigidity, and the ability to hold themselves in one shape, and can be imagined as cardboard blocks. Prokaryotic cells do not have a cytoskeleton, and are more akin to a bag of jello, which would not do well stacked with other bags of jello. Prokaryotes generayyl cannot bind and stick with other prokaryotes, and thus cannot copulate into multi-celled organisms.

Answer 3

Animals are Eukaryotic because their cells have a defined nucleus that houses their genetic material, along with other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. This allows for more complex cellular processes and compartmentalization compared to prokaryotic cells.

Answer 4

Any living thing that is comprised of more than a single cell is considered a multicellular organism. Eukaryotic organisms have cells which contain a nucleus and other organelles.

Answer 5

because their cells DNA are in one packet in the middle insted of prokaryotic wich their DNA is scatterd acroos the cell

Answer 6

Eukariya means having true nucleus.That is the reason
