The nucleus is arguably the most important part of a eukaryote; it contains the DNA and is important for reproduction. Eukaryotes contain organelles, some examples of organelles are golgi apparatus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes; however, not every eukaryote contains every organelle. Organelles are important for things such as energy production, photosynthesis, and membrane construction. Eukaryotes are comprised of fungi, animals, and plants.
