eukaryótískum
Eukaryótískum is the Icelandic term for eukaryotic. Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This distinguishes them from prokaryotes, which lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound structures. The genetic material in eukaryotes is contained within the nucleus, which is enclosed by a nuclear envelope. Other key organelles found in eukaryotic cells include mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and in plant cells, chloroplasts.
The term "eukaryotic" derives from the Greek words eu (meaning "true") and karyon (meaning "nut" or "kernel"),
The presence of a nucleus and other organelles allows eukaryotic cells to carry out more specialized and
