Describe the internal structures of eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokarotic cells and have a true nucleus membrane bound organelles and rod shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cells DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes. Mitochondria are responsible for ATP production the endoplasmic reticulum modifies proteins and synthesizes lipids and the golgi apparatus is where the sorting of lipids and proteins takes place.
