A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells lies in their structure. Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells are the two types of cells that exist on Earth. There are several ...

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells possess a nucleus enclosed within a cell membrane, making up one of the three domains of life, Eukaryota. They include multicellular organisms such as plants, ...

Eukaryotes—fungi, plants, us—are complex. Our large cells are characterized by their different compartments, many of which are neatly enclosed within a boundary of membrane. These compartments contain ...

The discovery that a group of cell-infecting bacteria lived roughly 2 billion years ago stirs a longstanding controversy around which came first: phagocytosis or mitochondria. The ability of one cell ...

Plant and animal cells have a complex traffic system within them. This transport network links cellular compartments much like the traffic network that connects different districts in an urban ...

Cell polarity can be defined as a structurally and functionally asymmetric organization, in which the non-random positioning of each organelle, the function of which contributes to cell asymmetry, is ...

Divergent eukaryotic pathogens use common host-targeting signals in both animal and plant hosts. The first identification of a eukaryotic pathogen host-targeting signal was made in the human malaria ...
