Final answer:

Eukaryotes are characterized by having a nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and an endoplasmic reticulum. They are distinct from prokaryotes, which do not have these features.

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristics of eukaryotes include the presence of a nucleus, organelles, and an endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, the correct answers are:

  • A nucleus is present (a).
  • Organelles are present in the cytoplasm, such as mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes (c).
  • The endoplasmic reticulum is one of the many membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells performing specialized functions (e).

Eukaryotic cells are distinct from prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and lack membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes may have a cell wall, but it does not contain peptidoglycan, which is found in the cell walls of many bacteria, a group of prokaryotes.
