Eukaryotic cell

Generalized 2D textbook cross-section of an animal-like eukaryotic cell, rounded to slightly irregular in outline with a thin flexible plasma membrane and no cell wall or chloroplasts. The cell contains pale beige, pink, tan, blue, or softly translucent pastel cytoplasm and a large prominent membrane-bound central nucleus, round to oval, often purple, with a distinct double nuclear envelope, small pores, and darker chromatin inside. Scattered throughout the cytoplasm are simplified membrane-bound organelles including bean-shaped or oval mitochondria, folded endoplasmic reticulum, stacked Golgi membranes or Golgi bodies, curved membrane sacs, small vesicles, and scattered tiny ribosome-like dots. The cytoplasm may be lightly textured and can include a visible internal filament network representing the cytoskeleton. The overall appearance should emphasize a larger, more complex, compartmentalized internal organization than a prokaryotic cell, rendered as a clean educational cutaway in soft biological pastel colors with clearly separated internal compartments.
