Eukaryotic Cells Part 1: Animal Cells and Endosymbiotic Theory

The video explores the complexity of eukaryotic cells, focusing on their organelles and functions. It explains the endosymbiotic theory, which suggests that eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells. The video details the roles of various organelles, including the nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, mitochondria, and peroxisomes. It also covers the cytoskeleton's role in maintaining cell structure and organization. The cell is likened to a factory, with each organelle serving a specific function, illustrating the cell's complexity and interdependence.
