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.
Eukaroyotic cells also have a variety of organelles that carry out different functions. Prokaryotic cells came before eukaryotic cells so they do not have the organelles that eukaryotic cells have. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane bound nucleus, while prokaryotic cells store the DNA in a region called the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells also have the outermost layer, the capsid, while eukaryotoic cells do not have this layer.
