Why does the eukaryotic design persist if it is more complex?Show answer
The answer is compartmentalization. Internal membranes divide a eukaryotic cell into compartments (organelles), each with its own conditions. This lets the cell run many different chemical reactions at the same time without them interfering, concentrate the right enzymes where they are needed, and keep destructive processes (like the digestion inside a lysosome) safely walled off.
