Chapter 2.14, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Cellular membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three major components of a cell. Organelles present in eukaryotes include Golgi complex, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, microfilaments and microtubules, and lysosomes. In general, eukaryotic microbes are larger and structurally highly complex compared to prokaryotes. Eukaryotic microbes include the protozoa, the algae, the
