Prescott's Microbiology

To list: The characteristics of eukaryotic cells that distinguish them from other cell types. Introduction: Microorganism is a small organism that cannot be seen by unaided eyes. There are numerous microorganisms present in the surroundings. The diversity of microorganisms is a great challenge to place them in appropriate categories. The microorganisms can be prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Protists, fungi, plants, and animals all belong to eukaryotes. Bacteria belong to prokaryotes.

The characteristics of eukaryotic cells that distinguish from other cell types are as follows: Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed by the nuclear membrane. They possess membrane-bound organelles. They have mitochondria which are used for energy production. Two locomotory organs such as cilia and flagella are present in eukaryotic cells. It has linear DNA present within the membrane-bound nucleus.
