Eukaryotic cells â those that make up cattails and apple trees, mushrooms and dust mites, halibut and readers of Scitable â have evolved ways to partition off different functions to various locations in the cell. In fact, specialized compartments called organelles exist within eukaryotic cells for this purpose.ithin eukaryotic cells, mitochondria function somewhat like batteries, because they convert energy from one form to another: food nutrients to ATP. Accordingly, cells with high metabolic needs can meet their higher energy demands by increasing the number of mitochondria they contain.
The general name given to the membrane-bound structures within a eukaryotic cell (the cells that have nuclei) that perform specific functions necessary for cell survival, growth, or reproduction. Examples include Golgi bodies, lysosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles, and vesicles.ost of the ATP in a cell is made in the mitochondria, the cell's powerhouse. ATP is a coenzyme (the-ase in the name gives it away) and a strong reducing agent, or electron donor, that acts as the principal energy carrier in the cell.
