Eukaryotic cells (in plants, animals, fungi, and algae) are bigger than prokaryotic (bacterial) cells. This bigger size allows eukaryotic cells to have more structural complexity.
Choose any one of the following eukaryotic cell structures for a short essay:
- Mitochondrion
- Cytoskeleton
- Golgi apparatus
- Endoplasmic reticulum
- Lysosome
- Chloroplast (found only in photosynthetic cells)
In your answer, describe its basic structure (including molecular composition) as well as the function. Why is the function important to keeping the cell alive?
Provide references in APA format.
