The defining feature that sets eukaryotic cells apart from prokaryotic cells (Bacteria and Archaea) is that they have membrane-bound organelles, especially the nucleus, which contains the genetic material, and is enclosed by the nuclear envelope.ukaryote cells include a variety of membrane-bound structures, collectively referred to as the endomembrane system.
