Eukaryotes or eukaryotic cells have a cell nucleus and organelles enclosed within membranes. Eukaryotes can be unicellular or multicellular. Most complex life forms are eukaryotes. In contrast, prokaryotes don’t have a nucleus and don’t have things like mitochondria or chloroplasts. Their DNA, proteins, and metabolites swim freely in the cytoplasm and not enclosed in organelles.
