what is the function of an eukaryotic animal cell?

...to live and reproduce? You need to be more specific... what kind of animal cell? In what organ? Or is it a single-celled organism? Do you mean the structure?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_complex\n\nThe primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and package macromolecules synethesised by the cell, primarily proteins and lipids. The Golgi apparatus forms a part of the endomembrane system present in eukaryotic cells.

prokaryotic cells are not bounded by membranes while eukaryotic cells are bounded by membranes.

Eukaryotes have organelles and are comparmentalized.  Prokaryotes do not have organelles and are not compartmentalized.

1. Eukaryotes can be multicellular or unicellular.  Prokaryotes (bacteria) are single celled organisms.\n2. Mitochondria and golgi apparatus can be found in skin cells.

Eukaryotic...Prokaryotic are bacteria cells...Hope it helps!

In animals and plants, cells are the smallest units that can be considered alive. Your body, like all human bodies, is a collection of many many cells. Nearly all cells have the same basic parts - a nucleus, which has DNA, and a cell membrane, which acts as sort of a skin for the cell, keeping insides in, and outsides out. \n\nCells are arranged together to form tissues, which in turn arrange together to form organs, which fit together to form systems (like the digestive system), which in turn all keep you as one functioning living being!\n\nMost cells in a large organism like plants and animals have specialized purposes as well - some are nerve cells, transmitting signals to and from the brain to the rest of the body, some are in your blood, carrying oxygen to the rest of the body, some form your skin, keeping you from getting infected from outside. \n\nCells have their own lifespans, and can reproduce and die.\nSometimes, a mutation happens in cells, and they don't follow their genetic instructions and might grow and reproduce abnormally -- this is what cancer is.

False, its the other way round.\nSingle celled orgarnisms have only one cell. this cell has different components that help it become multi-funtional. this means that its single cell are not specialised. for example. an Amoeaba which is a single celled organism has a nuclei which it uses for its metabolic processes, its mitochondria for energy, its cell wall for movement. so this one cell of an amoeba can perform different functions.\n\nmulti cellular ogarnisms have different cells that have been specialised for different purposes. e.g respiratory cells are for metabolic processes, growth cells are for growth, digestive cells are for digestion. \n\nthe digestive cells in a multicellular organisn come together to form digestive tissues. the digestive tissues will come together to form a digestive organ, different digestive organs will form the digestive system. different systems form the body.\n\nthanks. chaoo

Basic cell biology:\n\nEndoplasmic reticulum - an organelle found in all eukaryotic cells that modifies proteins, makes macromolecules, and transfers substances throughout the cell.

Eukaryotes contain membrane-bound nuclei and other organelles, while prokaryotes lack this membrane-bound nucleus. Prokaryotes are classified in two kingdoms separate from the eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are the type of cells that make up plants and one celled organisms, but not animals.\n\nBut there is a longer discription on:\nhttp://ks.essortment.com/prokaryoteseuka_rgbo.htm

The endomembrane system is the system of internal membranes within eukaryotic cells that divide the cell into functional and structural compartments, or organelles. Prokaryotes do not have an endomembrane system and thus lack most organelles.\n\nThe endomembrane system also provides a transport system, for moving molecules through the interior of the cell, as well as interactive surfaces for lipid and protein synthesis. The membranes that make up the endomembrane system are made of a lipid bilayer, with proteins attached to either side or traversing them.\n\nThe following organelles are part of the endomembrane system:\n\n    * The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer membrane that separates the cell from its environment and regulates the transport of molecules and signals into and out of the cell.\n    * The nuclear envelope is the membrane around the nucleus of the cell.\n    * The endoplasmic reticulum is a synthesis and transport organelle [the endoplasmic reticulum is an extension of the nuclear envelope].\n    * The Golgi apparatus acts as the packaging and delivery system for molecules.\n    * Lysosomes are the "digestive" units of the cell. They utilize enzymes to break down macromolecules and also act as a waste disposal system.\n    * Vacuoles act as storage units in some cells.\n    * Vesicles are small membrane-enclosed transport units that can transfer molecules between different compartments.

the functions are:\nmRNA: Carries information and goest to ribosomes\ntRNA: Goes to the cytoplassm and picks up the amino acids\nrRNA: Makes the ribosomes

Well, most of science, especially biology and medical terminology have to do with words from languages such as latin and greek. Therefore linguistics, the scientific study of language,  is essential to understanding how things are named in science. Without linguistics one would not know why a Eukaryote is called a Eukaryote. The word "Eu" means true in Greek, and Karyo means nut in Greek; and that's how they got Eukaryote, which means a "single-celled or multicellular organism whose cells contain a distinct membrane-bound nucleus" See the importance of linguistics in biology?

Animal and plant cells share the same basic structures with a few exceptions.  First of all, plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall made of chitin that is extremely important in regulating water levels.  Animals cells have no cell walls.  Plant cells use chloroplast to create their energy, rather than the mitochondria that humans use.  In plant cells, the storage form of glucose is starch, whereas in animal cells it is glucagon.  There are many more small differences, but these three are big ones.

The cells are usually designed for its purpose for the body. For example, your red blood cells doesn't have several key organelles that other cells have (sorry I forgot the organelles) because they have a short life span. Throughout biology, there is a recurring theme that the form of an organism usually fits its function. That’s why the cell's shape usually fits its function. Also, natural selection favors those with superior qualities.

Eukaryotic cells have a definite nucleus, membrane bound organelles, usually larger in size (when compared to a prokaryotic cell), and certain eukaryotes are multicellular.\n\nProkaryotic cells do not have a definite nucleus, do not have membrane bound organelles, are much smaller in size (when compared to a eukaryotic cell), and are single celled.

Their function in the body. For instance, cells that require a lot of communication between them and the outside have a lot of transmembrane proteins that others that are more "isolated".
