Answer:

Plant cells are eukaryotic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant cells are eukaryotes, as are animal cells. This is because plant cells include many organelles in their cytoplasm, which are membrane-bound structures that perform specific functions. For example, plant cells contain the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and typically a large central vacuole for storage. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, lack these organelles. In addition, plant cells have a cell wall that provides structure and chloroplasts (the organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plants) that distinguish them from eukaryotic animal cells.

Hope this helps!
