| A eukaryotic cell is a cell that has its [[DNA]] in a distinct compartment from the [[cytoplasm]] of the cell due to a membrane; DNA is inside a [[nucleus]]. They also have a [[cytoskeleton]] that holds the cell's shape, gives it mechanical strength and helps to move things around the cell. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound [[organelles]] such as the [[endoplasmic reticulum]], [[Golgi apparatus]] and [[mitochondria]]. Eukaryotic cells are typically much larger than [[prokaryotic cells]]. Animal cells are an example of eukaryotic cells.
