Eukaryotic Cells, also known as Eukaryotes in the domain Eukarya, are cells that evolved to be more complex than prokaryotes. They are the fourth generators in the game and are also the last ones that live in the primordial soup.
Description[]
"The prokaryotic cell's more complex cousin, eukaryotic cells have a nucleus to store genetic information. Fungi, plants, animals, and protozoa are all built of eukaryotic cells."
Design[]
This generator contains a partly dissected model of an animal cell, with nuclei, mitochondria, cell membranes, cytoplasm, golgi apparati and lysosomes. It is the final generator in the Primordial Soup habitat and bounces around an invisible sphere wall. Clicking on it prompts a continuous bubbling sound.
Upgrades[]
Eukaryotic Cell has 5 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a total x76.5 multiplier.
One of the Upgrades, Chitin, requires the Fungi artifact to be purchased for 
75 in the Augmentations Console.

Filter Feeding | A passive way of finding nourishment involves having nutrients filter through an organism's body. This is the feeding method of choice for shellfish, krill and sponges. | 8,000

Chitin | A primary component of the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans, chitin is also found in the cell wall of fungi. This special polymer makes fungi unique from other organisms on a cellular level. | 50,000

Phagocytic Cell | Phagocytes, or white blood cells, are cells that have the ability to ingest other cells or harmful foreign particles and are essential for producing immunity to infectious or contaminating agents. | 1.16e11

Powerhouse of the Cell | Eukaryotic cells contain organelles, including the nucleus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. Did you know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell? | 25 Eukaryotic Cell |
|
Eukaryotic Ephemera | The concept of the eukaryote has been attributed to the French biologist Edouard Chatton (1883—1947). | 50 Eukaryotic Cell |
|
Pump Up the Volume | Eukaryotic cells are typically much larger than those of prokaryotes. They have a volume of around 10,000 times greater than the prokaryotic cell. | 100 Eukaryotic Cell |
|
True or False | The word "eukaryote" comes from the Greek words meaning "true" and "nut". | 150 Eukaryotic Cell |
|
Big Cell in a Small Town | Despite the fact that eukaryotes make up a small fraction of all life on Earth, their large size means that their collective biomass is equal to or greater than that of all prokaryotes. | 250 Eukaryotic Cell |
