Question

Are animals Eukaryotic?

Answer 1

- Eukaryotes are species with a nucleus contained within a nuclear envelope in their cells.
- One of the three realms of life is Eukaryota; the other two are Bacteria and Archaea, which are prokaryotes. The eukaryotes are commonly known to have originated in the Archaea or to be in the now-cultivated Asgard archaea.

Complete answer:
- Plants, mammals, fungi, and protists all have eukaryotic cells. DNA is stored in the nucleus, which is an organelle surrounded by a membrane called the nuclear envelope. This generalization has a few exceptions, such as human red blood cells.
- While there are many different types of eukaryotic cells, animals and plants are the most well-known eukaryotes and thus provide an excellent starting point for learning about eukaryotic structure.
- Eukaryotes are the cells that make up all living things. Animal cells differ from those of other eukaryotes, particularly plants, in that they lack cell walls and chloroplasts, as well as having smaller vacuoles. Animal cells can turn into a variety of shapes because they lack a cell wall. Some structures may be engulfed by phagocytic cells.
- Animals are eukaryotic. The general classification is based on whether or not the cell's organelles are enveloped in membranes. It is eukaryotic if it is found in membranes. They are prokaryotic if they aren't.

Thus from the above discussion, we can conclude that animals are Eukaryotic.

Note:
- Eukaryote is derived from the Greek words ‘eu’ (true) and ‘karyon’ (nut or kernal). Edouard Chatton, a French biologist, is credited with coining the word "eukaryote."
- Eukaryotic cells are 10,000 times bigger than prokaryotic cells and have a much larger number.
- The nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts are the three most important organelles in a eukaryotic cell. They are all covered by double membranes.
