Cells, prokaryotes, eukaryotes

One interesting question you can ask about eukaryotes is this: How did these organelles come to be inside a cell? Remember the lipids! Could that happen for these complicated -- and very large -- cells?

Furthermore, organelles now carry out specific cellular tasks as sub-cellular units inside the smallest building block of multi-celled organisms.

Also remember the relative sizes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
