Eukaryotic Cells Have a Variety of Membranous Organelles, Which Can Be Isolated for Study
Typical eukaryotic cells, are much larger than prokaryotic cells—commonly 5 to 100 m in diameter, with cell volumes a thousand to a million times larger than those of bacteria. The distinguishing characteristics of eukaryotes are the nucleus and a variety of membranebounded organelles with specific functions: mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complexes, and lysosomes. Plant cells also contain vacuoles and chloroplasts. Also present in the cytoplasm of many cells are granules or droplets containing stored nutrients such as starch and fat. In a major advance in biochemistry, Albert Claude, Christian de Duve, and George Palade developed methods for separating organelles from the cytosol and from each other—an essential step in isolating biomolecules and larger cell components and investigating their structures and functions.
