| 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.
