Eukaryotic cells â those that make up cattails and apple trees, mushrooms and dust mites, halibut and readers of Scitable â have evolved ways to partition off different functions to various locations in the cell. In fact, specialized compartments called organelles exist within eukaryotic cells for this purpose.ithin eukaryotic cells, mitochondria function somewhat like batteries, because they convert energy from one form to another: food nutrients to ATP. Accordingly, cells with high metabolic needs can meet their higher energy demands by increasing the number of mitochondria they contain.
Eukaryotic cells may contain a cell wall-only plant cells though (made from cellulose). Animal cells do not contain a cell wall at all. The functions for eukaryotic cells are sometimes advanced, as they can divide and multiply by mitosis or meiosis. Eukaryotes can be called autotrophs or heterotrophs.
