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, 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

The Eukaryotic Cell has five Upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a x68.5 multiplier. One of the Upgrades, Chitin, requires the Fungi artifact to be purchased by Logit Console 50 Logits in the Augmentations Console.

	Tissue	Tissues are groups of cells come together to perform a specific function. Organs are formed by groups of tissues.	Entropy 4,500	100%	Eukaryotic Cell
	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.	Entropy 8,000	50%	Eukaryotic Cell
	Chitin	A primary component of the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans, chitin also found in the cell wall of fungi. This special polymer makes fungi unique from other organisms on a cellular level.	Entropy 50,000	750%	Tissue Fungi Artifact
	Chloroplasts	Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the pigment chlorophyll and are where the process of photosynthesis takes place.	Entropy 1.07 E8	50%	50 Eukaryotic Cell Tissue
	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 contaminting agents.	Entropy 1.16 E11	100%	100 Eukaryotic Cell Filter Feeding

	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
